@misterbaker9728 I have never seen that stated anywhere. Do you have a reference or is that just your opinion. Ike was insistent that allied troops stop at the Elbe. Considering how many troops the Soviets lost in taking Berlin, this was obviously a good decision. I have heard that Patton wanted to rearm the German troops and then to turn around and attack the Soviets with them fighting alongside the western powers. In hindsight, that might have been the best course of action. Without western material support the Soviets most likely could not have withstood such an attack.

@pax6833 What questions? Your comment does not seem to have relevance here.

@brucetucker4847 Oh, I know that. It was just that, if it had happened things would have been different. I am not advocating for that either.
