Have just got hold of Edition (Tome) 9 of a French graphic novel series in A4 format called "Jour J" in which the US and Russia go to war over Cuba but De Gaulle and Macmillan keep out of it. The story takes place in an alternate 1967 with Mexico about to reoccupy Texas. France and Britain send in a force to secure a Titan missile silo.. If this sounds familiar I think there was a novel with a similar theme in which Ted Heath of all people decides to send in British paratroopers to seize US nuclear weapons after a similar Cuban Missile Crisis based war. In practice it would have been impossible for Europe to have emerged unscathed from a 1962 War as so many tactical and operational weapons were based in Europe and would have been used. For example the Thors in Britain and Jupiters in Italy and Turkey were all targetted by Soviet missiles as were the numerous US airbases.
