Tempelhof, Berlin, dawn of 8th April 1949.
A major armed conflict is brewing between the Western powers and the
Soviet bloc. The Red Army has been growing ever stronger since the end
of World War II. With the growth of their army the Soviets realize that
they hold the advantage, and are only waiting for the right moment to
attack. That moment arrives with the Tempelhof Incident: the near-fatal
collision of a US cargo plane and a Soviet fighter over Berlin’s main
airfield. A fatal combination of coincidence and human error, there is
no point in arguing what went wrong, no point in asking who pulled the
trigger first and who fired on whom in return. The Incident went down
in history as fatal.
Within 12 hours of the crash the ground beneath the German capital is
shaking with the salvoes of a war never meant to be: a conflict between
former allies over Europe and global supremacy.
What if Stalin knew exactly that the USA cannot produce more A-bombs
after the war? What if he decides to strike first? The massive Russian
army was still standing in the middle of Europe and its dependancy on
western technology was past - it was ready to roll towards the Atlantic
ocean on the first sign from the Boss. The fate of the world was in the
hands of a ruthless dictator, who would have shown no sign of
hesitation if he knew the proper status of the atomic arsenal in the
western world...In this game the worst comes true, and it may just
change the fate of the “free world” forever! WWII is now just a memory
- but the Cold War has just begun…
