INDIVIDUAL COMBAT REPORT OF First Lieut. Richard Gardner

A. Mission No. 433, May 13th, 1946, 8th Fighter Squadron 9 P-38s

B. Escort A20s to Munster, West Germ

C. Time of attack: 0830/K Altitude, 8-10,000 feet

D. I was element leader in Blue flight an we took off at 0625/K to escort A20s to Munster. We circled at 6,000 ft. over the A20s while they strafed targets. At 0830/K we were intercepted by about 15 Yaks of the 9 type. They were above us at 11 o'clock. Two of them dove on me and I dove to lose them. I pulled up and climbed to 8,000 feet and make a 45 degree head-on pass at two Yaks with no observed results. Shot once at another on 90 degrees defection and missed. Peeled off to join 5 other P38s and a La7 jumped me from behind and put 5 shots into my airplane. I dove to lose him and picked up two Yaks about to make a pass at the A20s. I made a 45 degree deflection shot from the rear and above until he turned almost into me. It was a long burst and he slid off on one wing and crashed northwest of Munster

Two more Yaks chase me as I started for home and they finally gave up because they couldn't catch me. I left the area a 0925/K and joined the A20s and we came home and landed at 0955/K

E. I claim one Yak9, destroyed.

Somewhere in West Germany.

The Soviet forces are racing blindly towards the Low Countries and France. Germany is a blasted hulk not worthy of looting.

The so called NATO Allies have melted like a snowman in July. Recon says they are making a last stand across the little river in front of our forces.

We will slice through them like a hot knife through caviar.

We have destroyed most of their frontline fighters where they were parked so we don't expect much resistance.

Fly CAP over the IL10 as they deal with the puny allied armored forces. We must maintain complete air superiority for the attack to remain on schedule.

Your Yak is like a spear. Jam it into the heart of the enemy so they can no longer threaten Mother Russia again.

Lavrenti do this Lavernti to that, what do they think I'm a machine or something? Go get in you Yak for the third time today and clear the skies of capitalist flyboys. What is a flyboy anyway?...we are all men up here even the enemy. Check the fuel mixture you fool. Keep your head moving and keep looking. 2850 meters is good, not many clouds, keep looking there are supposed to be some Yankee bombers up here keep your eyes open wide, move you head, look over your shoulder. How many missions is this since this war started? Twelve I think. Almost one a day and now this third one today. Why me? Who did Tonton pay off? Why isn't he flying his third mission of the day? Who cares whether a few more bombs drop on the frontline? What harm would a few more do? **** watch the temp gauge. Crap if I have to trim the flaps one more time...Damn Dmitri can't he keep this plane in even some kind of fighting condition. Jeese look at the cigarette burns on the tac. What kind of pig would smoke in a plane full of gas that has machine gun bullet holes in it? What an idiot. How has he stayed alive so long?

Wait what's that glint of metal near those clouds...there you are you Yankee pigs. Old Larenti will teach you to drop bombs on my little ground pounding friends. Look over here comrade Stetsky...can't you see me wiggling my wings? That's right look where I'm pointing you idiot not at me. There see them? Good now let's get the sun at our backs. Keep your eyes moving don't just stare at the bombers. Move you head, use those eyes. Where are the escorts? This is too easy. Where are the escorts? They have to be here somewhere. Keep looking scan.. keep your head moving. Watch the distance. Check the guns, I love this Yak UT and this 37mm cannon. Just stay back and shoot them while they can't shoot you. Move in for the kill with the 20mm. Ah American A20 bombers...fast...maneuverable for a bomber this is going to be harder than it should be. Remember to squeeze the trigger. Don't jerk it. Ready. Ready. **** the engine is overheating. Damn closing too fast.

What was that flash?..ESCORTS! P38s making a pass. Hit oh god I'm hit. Is there a God? Controls won't respond...pull you son of a bitch pull. Why won't my arm work? ...bleeding like a stuck pig. Tired...Pull…Pull...It's always the one you don't see. Why didn't I check one more time? Oh now comes the pain. Can't move my arm. Getting weaker. Can't keep my eyes open.............................

1321 combat aircraft destroyed on the ground. 238 missing and presumed destroyed in air to air combat.

So what this is telling me is that 15 out of our 22 divisions are toast or getting re-supplied. Luckily we have plenty of supply.

Jonsey make sure that after we are supplied we destroy the rest. We don't want to leave anything for Ivan to use. Remember they have a crap load of our lend lease equipment that can use our parts and ammo. There have been rumors of crop failures in the Ukraine so burn the food too. We have to do a scorched earth policy to some extent. I can't see driving the civilians out of their homes and taking their supplies besides we don't have the time or man power to do either. I guess the Reds are going to be sitting pretty living high on the hog eating our chocolate and C rations for a few months anyway.

Our orders are to get on the other side of the Rhine. Let's move out as soon as we top everything off and make contact with the enemy. We need to keep slowing him down as much as possible yet not get over run. Let's go people move it! Watch the flanks. Remember we have limited air cover...just enough to keep them Red bastards off our backs while we bug out.

 

“Hey Smitty what ya got there?”

“Knock it off Bill. I'm on my way to deliver this pile of stuff to the General himself. And I don't need any grief from you.”
“Come on Smitty just give me a peek. I won't touch nothing. It's not like it's top secret or anything. Come on just a little look see.”
“Well I suppose a little look see won't hurt nothin. I'm putting my cushy job on the line here so what you got for me in return for this little lookey here?”
“Don't be a jerk Smitty just hand it over for a sec. Don't get so uppity and all just because you’re the Generals gofer doesn't mean nothin.”
“Well it means I can show this to you or not unless you offer something up in return. One hand washes the other ya know.”
“Ah man ... how about a few smokes for all your trouble?”
“Make it a even dozen and you got a one minute peek. Deal?”
“Oh alright it's a deal.”
“What is that anyway?”
“I dunno just some map that the General wanted printed up and all colored in. Pretty nice huh? I think it has something to do with the Reds attack. It's probably for some briefing he's got coming up. See there it's got how many divisions the commies are attacking with I bet.”
“Man that's a hell of a lot. What's going on now must make the Battle of the Bulge look like a picnic. Damn look at all that red and not much of our stuff. What do you make of this anyway.”
“Well the boxes with ovals in them are armor units, the ones with Xs are infantry, the ones with little wheels under em are motorized. “
“Gees...What do the little x's mean over the tops?”
“I pretty sure that the xx are divisions and the xxx are Corps.”
“Man that makes it even worse looking for our side. How about those figure 8 ones?”
“Those are some kind of airplane units.”

“Jees Mac how are we supposed to stop em here? All the pill boxes and anti tank ditches are facing the wrong way. What are we supposed to do just close the door in their faces? Did you see those tanks they got. Ours are like toys compared to those monsters. You can't count on the flyboys to wack em like when we fought the krauts. Hell all you had to do was shout Tiger and the ground pounders would be all over em. Now we have to wait for hours and even then they don't show up most of the time. They're busy fighting with the commie pilots and not paying attention to what is going on down here in the mud.”

“Shut up Jess! I got y'all this far now just shut the hell up and pay attention. We've been ordered to make a stand here just to slow em up and to give us time to destroy our depots behind us. We can't move them and we don't want the Reds getting a hold of all them nice US Army c-rations. I know you hate to have a commie chewing on your chipped beef.”

“Anyway the top brass has scrounged a bunch of planes and plans on surprising old Ivan later today when they try and cross the river. They've been gitten kind of frisky lately and throwing haymakers left and right. We're goin to throw them a few jabs to slow em up and make em at least look through the window before they bust open the door if you catch my drift.”

“The flyboys will actually be there when we need em for the next couple of days anyway. Get Sparks to call in the mud movers and punch a few holes in those commie tin cans.”

“Now y'all y'all..That's yous to you Dutch... need to be a part of the jab. For the next few days until they flank us, this town is ours and we do what we have to do to keep it.”

“If those Jews in Warsaw could hold out for weeks with only rifles we can do it with some 105s and bazookas. Now get your ass out there and find a hole to hide in. We got plenty of ammunition so don't hold back. Use it or lose it. Interlocking fields of fire. You know the drill. Stick em and move then move back and stick em again. The papers are calling it a "fighting retreat". I call it an ass woopin.”

In an unprecedented announcement not heard since the start of World War Two the Western nations have formed an alliance called N.A.T.O. which stands for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. The purpose of this organization is as follows...

"The Parties of NATO agreed that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all. Consequently they agree that the armed attack by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and it's allies will cause each, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defence, to assist the Party or Parties being attacked, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area."

United States, United Kingdom, France, Luxembourg, Belgium, Netherlands, Canada, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Norway, Denmark and Iceland are the initial signatories with Greece and Turkey expressing interest at the highest levels.

It is felt that the unmatched barbarity of the Soviet attacks forced these diverse nations to unite in haste without the usual diplomatic discourse.

NATOs spiritual leader Winston Churchill remarked, "If the Western nations lay down their weapons, the Soviets would occupy all of East, West and Southeast Europe along with the greater part of the world. An iron curtain would fall over this enormous territory controlled by the Soviet Union, behind which nations would be slaughtered (my apologies to Goebbels)."

 

What we know so far
May, 16, 1946
White House Map Room
Present the Joint Chiefs of Staff and President Truman

“Mr. President if we may get started? Thank you Sir.”

“We have a pretty good handle of the size of the Soviet forces and their expected plan of attack. We acquired some information from a source in Poland. We have no specifics but can speak in overall numbers of divisions. This will make it simpler anyway as the Soviets have a different organizational system. Their armies are not equivalent to our armies etc. We do share a common military unit and that is the division so all our estimates will be giving in divisions.

The overall forces we face in Western Europe are 60 well equipped, full strength divisions. Another 25 second line divisions are expected from the satellite countries such as Hungry, Romania, Bulgaria etc. More about them later.

We have reason to believe that 35 divisions are designated for the initial push into the heart of Western Europe initially heading for Paris as their focal point. At strategic times division size units will peel off and invest certain key points such as Brussels, Amsterdam, Antwerp but most of the 35 divisions will continue through the heartland of Germany, the low countries and France. Once Paris is taken they will again spit off and go for Le Havre, Brest etc. and end up at the French/Spanish border.

Another 15 divisions will head towards the Maginot Line Southeast of Luxembourg and head towards Lorraine, Dijon and split for the Lyon and Marcelle while the others go towards Toulouse and the Spanish border.
Another 5 divisions are slated to head towards Bavaria from Czechoslovakia and continue to Strasbourg and at least make a demonstration at the Swiss France border. It appears that Stalin will decide then whether to attack Switzerland or to try to intimidate them.

5 more divisions are going to Copenhagen and from there towards Sweden and Norway. The Finns are expected to fold without a fight.

Their newly acquired satellite nations are expected to take out Italy and Greece. Romania, Bulgarian units will take on Greece. The Czechoslovakians, Yugoslavians, Hungarians and Austrians will go for Italy. Their initial attack will be with about 25 divisions but they can provide up to 85.

The Poles and East Germans will be used for garrison duties and anti resistance work from all reports.
We have lost contact with 7 out of the 9 major supply depots spread throughout Germany and even France. The Reds seem to dropped airborne troops into some and others have been taken over by communist 5[SUP]th[/SUP] column personnel and sympathizers. These depots contain huge amounts of fuel, ammunition, electronic equipment, tanks, trucks, heavy artillery, anti-aircraft artillery and the VT fuse…hundreds of thousands of VT fuses.

Attempts have been made to retake these depots but the troops in them are better armed and supplied than the units attacking. It appears that the 75,000 or so German POWs who were being used to manage the facilities have been neutralized and the 1478 US personnel based in them have been killed or captured. One Commander was able to detonate his supply of fuel but the other supplies were saved by the German POWs and the Soviets. The depots contained over a billion dollars in war surplus that was to be sold to various countries.

We do not know at this point any of the commanders involved but if history is any indicator it will be a pretty stand up fight with no fancy footwork no matter who is involved. Maneuver is not one of the Soviets usual strong points. Normally they pin you down swarm around you and hammer you to death. Since the Germans had orders to not retreat an inch this worked pretty well against them. We have been hit hard and have had to give up lots of territory but so far we have a coherent defensive line. It's very weak but we are throwing jabs as we back up.”

 

Hairog, there were severe food shortages after the war (real one) and a new conflict would hinder the spring planting. Something to consider fror both sides to deal with. Hungrey civilians are not happy civilians. Just a thought.

 

Hmmm all countrys that you have the Soviets rolling over seem to be suddenly siding actively with the Soviets and being able to launch wars right away.

The leaderships of countries such as Poland, East Germany,Bulgaria, Romania, etc may have had pro Soviet leaderships but the average person was less committed. Austria (never had a communist style leadership like East Germany) was administered by four powers.
It was easy to raise armies of liberation to free their countries from the tyrannical invading Germans but not the same to motivate those countries to provide troops to fight an aggressive war. There were many wars of independence still going on in the Soviet union after 1945 requiring Soviet troops to put down. This would make the Soviet lines of communication difficult at times drawing more front line strength away. Many of the Soviet occupied countries had active anti Soviet groups.

 

Guys this is Quill and Ink and not a discussion forum. I tried that in the alternate history forum and Mikebatzel stopped it and because of other discussions, which didn't go well for TA in another forum, and he won't post my offerings in that forum. If you want to speak to them. They will not listen to me.

From what I understand this forum is for story telling not discussion of the merits of the story. Please read and enjoy or don't read.

Thanks.

“So what this is telling me is that 15 out of our 22 divisions are toast or getting re-supplied. Luckily we have plenty of supply.

Remember they have a crap load of our lend lease equipment that can use our parts and ammo. There have been rumors of crop failures in the Ukraine so burn the food too.

I guess the Reds are going to be sitting pretty living high on the hog eating our chocolate and C rations for a few months anyway.


"Sir I don't know if you recall but the Reds have taken over 7 out of the 9 supply depots we had in Germany and France. The dropped airborne troops into a number of them and the damn paratroopers ended up having more and heavier weapons than we had with more ammunition. They also had our own VT fuse and stopped most of the attempts by the Air Corps to bomb them."

"Jesus you're right. That VT fuse is a killer. OK we can't get into a fight over those depots. Let the bastards have em. Our orders are to get on the other side of the Rhine. Let's move out as soon as we top everything off and make contact with the enemy. We need to keep slowing him down as much as possible yet not get over run. Let's go people move it! Watch the flanks. Remember we have limited air cover...just enough to keep them Red bastards off our backs while we bug out.”

 

Things are going well Maior.

“They die like flies without their air cover. Our numbers out weight their numbers. Maybe Rubin is right and the key is air-power. Keep pushing them and capture as many supplies as we can. Leave a guard behind at the depots along with an anti-aircraft unit. Be sure to make good use of their own AA ammunition. It has some kind of magic radar fuse in it that is very good at shooting down aircraft. We need those supplies both for us and for the others back home. We need strong factory workers to make the bullets we are putting into American and English bodies.”

“Our losses have been minimal and very acceptable. It will take them months to get any kind of forces from the US to try and stop us. We must keep pressing them. We have to take the ports on the channel and prevent another Dunkirk. We will not hesitate like the Nazis. We will drive them into the sea. The plan is to by-pass Paris and make a turn for the coast to trap them.

We have to keep in contact with them and cannot let them separate otherwise they will not hesitate to use their strategic bombers like they did on the Nazi pigs. They don't have the stomach to sacrifice their own people even if it means defeat.

“Don't worry Marshal we shall say in their back pocket while sticking our finger up their ass. So far we have no need of artillery parks. Our tanks are so superior that the only thing slowing us down is finding fuel and the newer models breaking down. So far the imperialists cannot outrun us. We will use bikes if we have to comrade the will not separate from us.

Besides the only bombers in position are the British Lancasters and Lincolns and we have a few surprises should they try to bomb during the day like the Americans. Even our old fighters can give them a hard time just wait until they meet the newest generation.”

 

Reds Across the Rhine

Soviet Pravda reports that Red Army units have crossed the Rhine in 3 locations.

By Rex Lemond
UPI
June 2nd, 1946

In an unusual communiqué the Soviet Government announced that its units have crossed the vaunted Rhine River in West Germany. This was supposed to be where the newly minted NATO forces stopped the Red Armies units. Its width, old defensive works and lack of bridges were supposed to be insurmountable. It was thought that the Red Armies lack of amphibious assault equipment and expertise would make the Rhine a natural defensive line that would stop the Reds in their tracks.

According to Soviet sources this has not been the case and they claim to have found numerous bridges intact all along the river. It has been rumored that the speed of the Red Army's advance coupled with conflicting orders have let to at least 3 bridges not being destroyed. Two of these bridges were the temporary bridges ironically constructed by the US Army along with over 60 others.

"We just didn't have the manpower or communications to get the job done." stated a Major who would not identify himself. Reports pour in of Soviet tanks lined up like "on parade" crossing the Rhine.

The Soviet leaderships stated goal of preventing the B29 Super Fortress bomber from being based in Western Germany has long since been shown to be an excuse for the blatant conquest of Western Europe. The base was overrun the first day of the surprise attack and yet the Red Army has continued to slaughter innocent non-combatants in its quest for what appears to be world dominance.

A spokesman for NATO pointed out that parts of East Germany were only 90 miles from the border and the Reds were essentially over the Rhine within hours of the start of hostilities. According to other sources many of the even temporary bridges were not rigged for demolition as war was not seen as immanent or likely. It appears that NATO was taken completely by surprise once again by a vicious and unprovoked surprise attack.

 

Capitalist Exploit German Workers

Victorious Red Army units find slave labor camps
Pravda
June 3rd, 1946

Units of the 3rd Shock Army liberated a slave labor camp outside of Urmitz, United Germany. Rumors of Capitalist atrocities and the exploitation of European workers have been shown to be true. The camp was filled with "starving wretches chained to Yankee and Limey machines of profit." according to the disgusted liberators. We must push on and free the workers of the world from such cruel depredations perpetrated for profit.

Even the uneducated among us can understand what has happened and how the cruel Capitalist pigs have used war to further their thirst for power and gold. Workers of the world must unite with the Soviet government and Red Army to throw off the yoke of exploitation.

We urge the unwitting stooges and lackeys of the Capitalism to lay down their arms and join us in a glorious workers revolt against your oppressors

Workers of the world unite!

 

"Come in Walter,

Come in. What can I do for you? “
“Thank you for seeing me Carl. I know you're a busy man. “
“So what have you brought me?”
“Well take a look at this chocolate bar and tell me what you see.”
“Looks pretty ordinary to me. The wrapper is obviously poorly made Russian paper. Can I open it?”
“Of course.”
“The chocolate looks like it's been melted just enough to hide the lettering. Why... this is just Hershey's chocolate make to look like some Soviet product. Are they really that desperate?”
“That's right they are taking our supplies and making it look like they are made in the Soviet Union. They are doing the same with cigarettes and even Spam. They are actually opening the cans of Spam and re-canning it.”
“Why those sneaky sons of bitches.”
“This stuff is flooding the Soviet market places. They are stripping the territory they invaded of every consumer item they can find and repackaging it to make it look like it's made in the mother land. From the other reports we seen they're using our supplies to augment the Lend Lease equipment we have already given them.”
“What are they doing with the C-Rations?”
“They're giving them to the soldiers. They're not even hiding that. I guess it tastes so bad they don't care if the folks back home know where it came from. The spoils of war etc.”
“It's like a plague of locusts.”
