Conspericy theory in my opnion nothing more, anything is possible but unlikely. Don't know if it's true or not but in the movie patton mentioned that the U.S. should keep moving across to the Pacific or something like that. Think how different this world would be if we did. Heck we had the Bomb.
I do know a friend and former employee said that when he was in the rainbow division at the end of the war that they were told not to let the russians get too close as they would ask to see their weapon and in turn shoot the u.s. soldier. This actually happened was my first thought, then why didn't we just go stright across to the pacific was my second thought, maybe Patton was right.He also added that Patton was a son of a B****, but would serve with him anytime in battle.
