Everything about Operation Unthinkable totally explained
Operation Unthinkable was a plan ordered by
British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and developed by the British Armed Forces at the end of
World War II. The primary goal of the operation was declared as follows:
"to impose upon Russia the will of the United States and the British Empire." (The word "Russia" is used heavily throughout the document, although at the time Russia as a political entity had been replaced by the Soviet Union.) The Chiefs of Staff were concerned that given the enormous size of Soviet forces deployed in Europe at the end of the war, and the perception that the Soviet leader
Joseph Stalin was unreliable, there existed a Soviet threat to Western Europe. Churchill stated within the briefing documents for Unthinkable that it was a "precautionary study" of what he hoped was a "purely hypothetical contigency".
The majority of the operation would have consisted of
American and British forces, but it also contemplated the use of
Polish forces and up to 100,000 surrendered
German soldiers.
The plan was rejected by the British
Chiefs of Staff Committee as militarily unfeasible.
