The original ?

 * read through this. veryvery intersting. are really impressing similarities to the course of the nuclear exchange... but your title ""the original"" ^^ first the POD of our ATL is quite different and a Real event - there has been intense military build up and conventional warfare before the commando to a first single and then total exchange. And the date... hmm sort of coincidence I suppose.

Remark 1: In General there are a lot of scenarios depicting a war - both conventional and nuclear- between the US and USSR in literature and often set in the mid - 1980's as tensions were high (see Perhshing II - stationing in Germany). E.g. I read a less-known book "The 3rd World War" by former NATO General Sir John Hackett describing conventional - only one exchange destroying Birmingham and Minsk- setting all in 1984. the "Woverine" film suggested a WWIII with US invasion.

Remark 2:

in the timeline discussion page the first remarks are the whole "Doomsday" scenario to be extremely similar to the "On the beach" scenario. Unfortunately the original author was no registered user so we can'T ask him...

Remark 3:

I researched a little bit in the very first versions of this ATL (when only the Timeline existed)... I compared to WIKI and found that the introductory text was nearly exactly the Wikipedia text as in the article about the Colonel.

So I still consider this a lone-standing and independent ATL, which did not copy -the furthest adapt details- from other ideas or copyrighted material around ;) --Xi&#39;Reney 11:10, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
