If Patton had his way, he would have not stopped and certainly would not have relented to the "Ruskies". While his sentiments are worthy and it would have saved a lot of folks from living under the communist regime, it would have been a nightmare. Can't imagine getting into it with the Russians. Bad news.
This kind of thing happened so many times during the war. One general wanted the glory of getting their first. One country wanted their name in lights before the other. We had to do a lot of a-- kissing too. Yes, a lot of politics to play out.
