As most of us know, Patton's feeling was that the Allies should've kept going towards Moscow facing the red army, and I always wondered, what if the allied did just that. I don't want to know about the reasons for this not to happen, since it already happen and we all know them, but I was thinking about consequences and scenarios.
But any answer has to deal with the following points:
-What would've happen in the pacific theater (would Japan switch allies and join the soviets or would it be a three way war.
-What would the rest of the German Army do? They would’ve been useful for the allies, specially their officer’s corp., since they had experience in fighting on Russian soil.
-What about the NAZI leadership, would the allies still hang them or let them walk
-Oil, would the British would been able to hold on to the Middle East against the soviets
and any other point you would like to address.

Immediately following the fall of Nazis Germany the Soviet Army stripped its forces in the West in order to mount the ground forces attacks against the Japanese Army Forces in China. The U.S. Army in Europe could have mounted an attack against the remaining Soviet Forces in Western Europe to dislodge them out of the occupied countries and forcing them back to Soviet's pre-1940 borders, Britain would have most likely sided with the U.S. in an operation such this. It is unlikely this would have been a move to unseat the Soviet leadership in the Soviet Union, however it just might have damaged their standing in the eyes of the Chinese and Koreans that might have alter the events of the post Second World War.

Patton would never acted on his own to launch such a conflict, however it is known in some circles that he certainly suggested it to the Supreme Allied Headquarters. The former German Army would have been very useful but most likely would have found themselves integrated into a U.S. controlled command structure.

The Allied command would have cut off his supplies and he would have run out of gas. Patton would have been hung for treason to placate the Soviets.

Macarthur should have kept going in Korea.

Assuming it was allowed to happen, WWIII would likely have immediately followed WWII.
