Would Patton have beat the Russians to Berlin ,in second world war if?

Question

1 / Eisenhower and Roosevelt had allowed him too?
2 / he would have been given enough supplies and resources to carry out the task?

Answer 1

without a shadow of a doubt. Patton's supplies where cut in favor of Monty's screw up of the century. if Patton had all the supplies he needed there even would not have been a Battle of the bulge and the Germans would not have had the chance to regroup behind the Siegfried. he would have been in Berlin long before the Russians and he would have kept the Russians out to. if allowed by Eisenhower.

Answer 2

Supplies is no problem. Patton had enough. The real cause is because Eisenhower didn't allowed him to. There was previous agreement between the Allies (U.S., British, and Russians) that the American forces should stop at the River Elbe (about 60 miles south of Berlin), and never cross beyond it. So, Eisenhower had to honor this agreement with Stalin. Furthermore, the Allies also previously discussed at the Tehran Conference the terms in partitioning Germany into Allied zones of occupation once the war is over. Berlin belongs to the Russian zone. So, Eisenhower decided that it would be futile to sacrifice the lives of American soldiers in taking Berlin, since it will become Russian zone of occupation anyway.

But if there were no restrictions, Patton can surely take Berlin first. The reason is because of the Germans themselves. Since the German high command already knew that it's just a matter of weeks before Germany totally fall to the allies, they decided that it's better for Germany to fall into Anglo-American hands than to the Russians. Because of this, many German divisions from the Western front were transferred to the Eastern Front to concentrate against the Russians. The German decision was to offer the least resistance to Anglo-American forces while resisting Russian forces to stop their advance at all costs.

Answer 3

Berlin provides an contemporary mixture of new and basic architecture, active leisure, shopping, and a wide selection of sports and national institutions and if you intend to see after that it that hotelbye is the area to start. Some of the points you will see here are: the Old Museum, the National Gallery, the Bode Museum, Old National Gallery or, the symbol of Germany, the Berlin Wall. This wall began his life in 1961 when East Germany made down the western the main town to base the ton of refugees from east to west. By enough time it was split down in 1989, the 4 meter high wall and 155 kilometres long, dissected 55 streets, and possessed 293 remark towers and 57 bunkers. Nowadays, just little stretches of this graffiti-covered travesty remain, including a 1.4-kilometer grow preserved within the Berlin Wall Memorial, a chilling reminder of the animosity that when separated Europe.

Answer 4

Its probable that Patton could have reached Berlin before the Russians. however there was a secret agreement between Roosevelt and Stalin which allowed the Russians in first!.

Answer 5

Road warrior is spot on. The Russians were killing their own troops just to keep the frenetic pace so they could be the first into Germany for revenge against what happened in Stalingrad.

Answer 6

Absolutely, german soldiers stationed on the american front wouldve surrendered at the first sign of allied troops to avoid being captured by the russians. Therefore implying that they would offer little or no resistance.

Answer 7

Russia might have beat us there but given the ok, Patton would have pushed them back to their motherland.

Answer 8

No - Zhukov and Rokossovsky would still have been in Berlin long before Patton.
