History / Poland's General Anders and one of the biggest "What Ifs?" of WW2 [31]
The German tanks outclass their Soviet counterparts, the Soviets just had massive numbers.
Churchill was for the idea, and commented along the lines of we'll nuke their cities until they fall into line. (They = Russians)
The initial primary goal of the operation was declared as follows: "to impose upon Russia the will of the United States and the British Empire. Even though `the will' of these two countries may be defined as no more than a square deal for Poland, that does not necessarily limit the military commitment."
He wanted to arm German POW's too - quite surreal - occupiers becoming liberators within a matter of months.
Besides by that period most of Soviet equipment was better then both German and Western ones.
