Скачать или смотреть The War Was Already Turning, Then the U.S. Considered a Nuclear Strike That Would Have Erased Berlin

Berlin was already collapsing under fire and exhaustion — but in secret, the United States considered a single atomic strike that could have erased the city forever.

In the final months of World War II, as Germany’s defenses crumbled and Allied forces closed in, planners in Washington studied a terrifying possibility: using the world’s first atomic bomb not on Japan, but on Berlin. Newly uncovered documents reveal mission routes, projected blast zones, casualty maps, and the chilling belief that one strike could shatter the Reich in a single afternoon.

This cinematic episode explores the extraordinary plan that almost happened — a nuclear attack designed to annihilate the German command structure, vaporize government districts, and break resistance instantly. From Manhattan Project briefings to Pentagon war rooms, we follow the timeline of a decision so powerful it could have rewritten history in fire.

But as Soviet forces stormed toward the capital and Germany collapsed faster than anyone predicted, the atomic strike spiraled into moral dilemma, diplomatic danger, and finally… cancellation. The bomb remained unspent — not because it lacked destructive power, but because history moved faster than the aircraft meant to deliver it.

The world never saw a nuclear flash over Berlin — yet the shadow of that near-mission shaped strategy, fear, and global politics for decades to come.
