Saturday, April 6 1946 Birmingham Birmingham vanishes in a nuclear blast. Germany has an advantage in atom bombs. The large uranium stocks have allowed a stockpile of U-235 to be built up. These U-235 bombs are easily converted to amplified bombs. The USA has mainly plutonium bombs. They are lighter and safer but cannot be converted. The B-29 atom bomber base in Birmingham is no more. The atom bombs stored in the base are destroyed.

Sunday, April 7 1946 USA Upon hearing of the improved German atom bombs Edward Teller proposes a thermonuclear bomb project. It seems possible to make a bomb a thousand times stronger than an atom bomb.

Wednesday, May 8 1946 Berlin The cost of the invasion of Great Britain was tremendous. German losses were 850,000 casualties and thousands of tanks and aircraft. The atom bomb threat to Germany has been eliminated though, making it worthwhile. The US has lost 600,000 soldiers, of which 400,000 have become prisoners in the greatest mass surrender in US history. Civilians have born the brunt of the first atomic war. Losses are counted in the tens of millions.

Friday, May 10 1946 London A deadly calm descends over Great Britain. The first German Red Cross units arrive in London. It is the start of the cleanup of Great Britain's obliterated cities.

Monday, June 10 1946 Berlin As expected, Churchill has been found guilty of plotting to wage an aggressive war and crimes against the human race in a show trial at Nuernberg. During the trial there were two empty chairs next to him ostensibly intended for Truman and Stalin. He is beheaded at sunrise. The body is buried in an unmarked grave. Other British government officials are given the choice of swearing allegiance to Nazism or die the same way. Not a difficult choice for politicians. By the end of the day there are 315 new Nazis of uncertain allegiance.
