“General Patton took everything into consideration and was confident we could have beat them. I’ll go with Patton.”
Absolute nonsense! If the USA was 100% mobilized to fight the Soviets, maybe we could have won a conventional war? We had nowhere near enough troops in Europe to beat the Russians in 1945. The US Army had 80 combat divisions. The Russians had hundreds of divisions. Even if we had the troops, millions of American soldiers would have been killed in action. It would have been a bloodbath.

Agreed. As huge of a Patton fan that I am, that was nonsense and the country would not have stood for it.

Patton was confident of a win. He included using German Army units in his calculations plus superior air support.
I’m not advocating that, only stating what Patton thought.
