The IS-3 entered production shortly before Germany surrendered, but how well would it have fought if VE Day was postponed by a few months?

Da Bug I think. Not too many IS-3s on Normandy Overlord Beaches. Not too sure how good they were at wading ashore anyway, or actually exiting Allied LCTs. Bodyguard is a great story but, like so many tales of intelligence coups, was it not foolish to publicise it? More so with Enigma and Ultra codebreaking. It was known even after WWI how many naval codes were freely read. How daft was it not to assume that any German signal message can be deciphered (and, with AI, in seconds these days). If you pull off an intelligence masterpiece, should you not suppress it for maybe 50 years at least? |
