Wouldnt have worked!
At that time the Soviet forces were the most massive and powerful land force on earth.
Had Patton attacked the Soviets he would have suffered the same fate the Germans did at Kursk
Patton may have wanted to go for the Soviets, I doubt very much the troops who had fought from North Africa to Germany wanted to. Why should they when they have been told the Russians were our allies?
We should have let Patton have his way. There would have been no Korean war, no Viet Nam war, and countless other conflicts funded by the commies would have been avoided. Don't forget that we had the bomb way before they did either. Communism should have been stopped then.
The Soviets had months of foreknowledge and prepared a heavy defense at Kursk, by Berlin they were spent manpower wise and probably wouldn't have undertaken another offensive for months if they'd been held at the Seelowe Heights (where the Germans yielded essentially due to lack of ammunition).
We were essentially fresh compared to the Soviets, had an uninterruptible supply line, could have owned the Baltic, and commanded an unequaled strategic and tactical air umbrella over the continent. We would have mopped the floor with them...
Pure BS. After VJ day, if we flew a plane over Moscow and dropped and Little Boy or Fat Man, we would not had to worry about the Soviets for the next 40+ years. However, it is pointless to argue that because so many Soviet sympathizers were in our government by that time so that never would have happened.
