But think back to that time, was it really practical to give his army all the supplies and send him blindly into the Ruhr? After all, their were still Germans all over Europe that needed to be mobbed up, and as long as the Germans were contained, which they were. And who could have predicted the cold war then? yes I know Patton is said to have been skeptical of the Russians, but I think that was more him not liking communism then anything else. I agree with you, politics can get in the way, bu I think it's essential to understand why decisions are made. After all, it's not like Ike, Monty and the crew wanted the allies to lose.
