Below is an "unwar" story. I have never heard of this incident, and it is reported from an infamous fake news source, RT News, so take it for what it is worth, but it ostensibly reports on the death of a former Soviet Army officer in charge of that empire's nuclear early warning and response team in 1983 who got "The Call" and refused to act later to find the warning was triggered by faulty software in the Soviet satellite system mistaking sunlight off clouds for American missile attacks. The guy is billed as "The Man Who Prevented Armageddon."

Had the French, Belgian and Brits defended the Nazi A Army's push through the Ardennes instead of concentrating on the B Army faint to Belgium in the North, WWII may have ended right then & there.
Thanks Joe, I enjoyed that.

For even greater detail and insight, find a copy of William Shirer's "The Collapse of the Third Republic"...Extremely tiny print, and a thousand pages, but the most detailed account of the events leading to the fall of France I've ever read, written by a man who was there to witness it...Maybe after a couple more readings, I'll be able to compose a proper review...:march:...Ben

The cite below is not a “war story,” but rather an article on the history of Japanese military ideology leading to its attack on Pearl Harbor and ultimate defeat. I find it a compelling argument wherein the dominant thought of the Japanese military adopted a American Naval historian & theorist’ view of one decisive battle determinative of war’s fortunes (Kuntai Kessen) written by Alfred Thayer Mahan resulting in the Pearl Harbor attack designed to even the odds presented by pre-war treaty constraints in preparation for the Kuntai Kessen.

Those of you interested in these things might find the article compelling too.
