Transcript

00:00It was an alliance born of pure necessity.

00:04A shotgun wedding, if you will.

00:05On one side, the United States, a bastion of capitalism and democracy.

00:10On the other, the Soviet Union, a communist empire forged in revolution and terror.

00:15The ideologies were poison to each other.

00:18They were oil and water, fire and ice.

00:21Yet they had a common enemy, Adolf Hitler's Germany.

00:25The Third Reich was a cancer.

00:26Rivals became surgeons, scalpels in hand.

00:29American G.I.s from Ohio and Texas.

00:32Soviet conscripts from Siberia and Ukraine.

00:35Brothers in arms split by an ideological chasm.

00:39Propaganda celebrated the Union.

00:41A smiling Uncle Sam and a stoic Russian bear.

00:44But unity was fragile, glued together by a common foe.

00:48No one asked what would happen when the glue dissolved.

00:51Lend-lease was the lifeblood.

00:52Tanks, planes, boots crossing treacherous seas.

00:55Tools of capitalism fueling the communist experiment.

00:57Roosevelt, Churchill, Stalin.

01:00Smiles were thin.

01:01Trust thinner.

01:02By spring 1945, the Nazi war machine was collapsing.

01:07Victory was not if, but when.

01:09In American war rooms, a different conflict took shape.

01:13A plan so audacious it chilled the blood.

01:16Operation unthinkable.

01:17What if the Soviets did not stop?

01:20To General Patton, it was inevitable.

01:21The next great threat.

01:24Rearm the defeated Germans.

01:26Turn them east.

01:27Fight the Russians now.

01:29Roosevelt was gone.

01:30Truman, blunt and distrustful of communism, took the helm.

01:34The atomic bomb shifted the calculus.

01:37The ultimate trump card.

01:38At Potsdam, Bonamy died.

01:41Suspicion reigned.

01:43At the front, Americans and Soviets traded trinkets and stories.

01:47In the halls of power, leaders prepared to make them kill each other.

01:51Whispers grew louder.

01:54The unthinkable became thinkable.

01:58The next chapter was already being written in secret.

02:03It came without warning.

02:05October 2nd, 1945.

02:07The world was broken, hopeful, ready to rebuild.

02:10Then the news trickled in.

02:11Confused reports.

02:13Static-filled broadcasts.

02:14Impossible.

02:15American bombers appeared over Soviet-held lands with bomb bay doors open.

02:21A betrayal of epic proportions.

02:24Allied units intermingled.

02:25Germany, Austria, allies hours ago.

02:30All Soviet units are now designated as hostile.

02:34Imagine a 19-year-old from Iowa sharing a cigarette with Ivan.

02:38Then told to open fire.

02:40Confusion.

02:41Disbelief.

02:42Gut-wrenching horror.

02:44In the Kremlin, Stalin seethed.

02:46Played by atomic monopoly.

02:48Not treaties, but fire.

02:50They struck when the Red Army was exhausted.

02:53Truman spoke of stopping tyranny.

02:55The Russian bear became the monster.

02:58In occupied Germany, a firefight near a checkpoint ignited chaos.

03:04Aggression or lost, it didn't matter.

03:06Acting on frantic orders, a bazooka team fired.

03:10Brotherhood incinerated.

03:11A Soviet general arrived to coordinate relief.

03:14Arrested.

03:15His guards shot.

03:16The words spread like wildfire.

03:19Betrayal.

03:21Stalin ordered, hold at all costs.

03:24Fight to the last man.

03:25Vast.

03:26Tough.

03:27Now fueled by righteous fury.

03:30Soviet fighters, many American-made, rose to challenge U.S. bombers.

03:34Pilots who might have trained together now tried to kill each other.

03:37Some refused to fight, laying down rifles, but war's momentum crushed hesitation.

03:43The shattered brotherhood gave way to a new reality.

03:46Kill or be killed.

03:48Airfields.

03:49Depots.

03:50Concentrations.

03:51A surgical blitz by waves of American planes.

03:54A modern war fought on the ruins of an old one.

03:57The strategy was clear.

04:01Decapitation by overwhelming air power and tech.

04:05But the Soviet Union was a continent.

04:08An ocean of land.

04:10For every cratered airfield, the Soviets adapted and fell back on reserves.

04:15The fighting devolved into a brutal slog.

04:18Every street, every room, an ambush.

04:21Morale plummeted.

04:22Why are we here?

04:23Echoed in every foxhole.

04:25Propaganda painted Stalin as the new Hitler.

04:28Many remained unconvinced.

04:30As resistance stiffened, pressure on Truman to use the ultimate weapon surged.

04:34The target was a massed Soviet counterattack.

04:37The bomb was dropped.

04:39A second sun bloomed over Poland.

04:42A threshold crossed.

04:43Atomic weapons became tools of battlefield strategy.

04:46A new, terrifying hell was unleashed.

04:50The decision to attack the Soviet Union in 1945 did not yield quick victory.

04:55World War II bled into a third, maps redrawn in blood and radioactive fallout.

05:02The United States, the aggressor, sank into a quagmire it could not escape.

05:07The post-war order never formed.

05:09The United Nations became a hollow shell.

05:11American and Soviet blocs entered a death spiral of escalation.

05:15The bomb, once America's trump card, became the great equalizer.

05:20At home, trauma festered.

05:22The greatest generation became the lost generation.

05:25Truman's name turned to a byword for hubris and treachery.

05:28From today's vantage, history turns on a knife's edge.

05:31In our world, the alliance held just long enough.

05:34In that other world, fear and faith in ultimate power cut the thread of trust.

05:40What followed was not rebuilding and hope, but endless war and atomic dread.

05:46A monument to a truth.

05:49The end of one war can be the beginning of a much worse one.
