Hell, Patton would have already been in Moscow if they had let him.

Patton had the right idea. Unfortunately, I think the Russians would've kicked our butts (we were close to having the bomb by then). We would've needed more than what we had there to beat the Russians. They were manufacturing tanks by the dozens by then in eastern Russia. The attacked the Germans with a fresh corp (if not more) of soldiers, tanks and aircraft. They had been building and hiding them from the Germans and at a given time, unleashed them on the Germans... chased them all the way to Berlin (some divisions went as far as France).
