Ironside Project: Difference between revisions

As the [[Eleventh Doctor]] recounted to [[Amy Pond]], the Ironsides became fully operational in the [[history (The Ironside Advance)|history]] in which he never found them. The [[Battle of Britain]] lasted only one more [[week]] before the German [[Luftwaffe]] suffered crippling casualties, forcing them to retreat and [[Eastern Front (World War II)|turn their forces against]] the [[Soviet Union]]. Their underestimation of the strategic possibilities of the Ironsides cost them dearly. Whilst their efforts were diverted elsewhere, the Ironsides [[Normandy landings|landed]] on the [[Normandy]] [[beach]]es, traveling along the [[seabed]] of the [[English Channel]] to avoid detection. The first two Ironsides were joined by the third Dalek from the ship.

   

The conflict was brief. Soon the three Ironsides were marching across [[France]], clearing a path for the [[liberation]] of the towns along their way by British soldiers. The enemy's guns could not penetrate the Ironsides' defenses and their speed and mobility meant that the [[Nazi]]s had to retreat to [[Germany]] to prepare a final defense, allowing the [[Russian]]s to spread across [[Eastern Europe]] at the other end of the [[Allies (World War II)|Allied]] pincer movement. Until this point, the [[United States of America]] had remained silent, unwilling to commit forces to a war that seemed impossible to win, instead steadily stockpiling their weapons, awaiting a tactically advantageous moment. However, when the [[Japan]]ese attempted to come to Germany's aid with a [[Attack on Pearl Harbor|pre-emptive attack]] on [[Pearl Harbor]], the Ironsides stepped in, taking on the enemy [[bomber]]s in a vicious [[dogfight]] lasting two [[day]]s. The [[American Navy]] was saved and [[President of the United States|President]] [[Harry S. Truman]] bestowed the [[Medal of Honor]] on the Ironsides, finally agreeing to aid the British in the war effort. Two months later, the Allied forces [[Battle of Berlin|marched]] on [[Berlin]], and the [[Nazi]] stranglehold was broken.
