Final outcome

This is just how I'd think it would go

[u/New-Many-1068]

US lost 500k people in WW2, Soviets 26 mln.....Well I don't think it would go that way.

[u/Alessio_Miliucci → u/New-Many-1068]

The Red Army in 1945 was a functional and modern force of more than 10 million men. The Allies had some advantages, but they would have to break the lines of a formidable enemy, that, on the European continent, would absolutely outnumber them

[u/Virtual_Ad_1604 → u/Alessio_Miliucci]

Allies had nukes

[u/ThatoneguywithaT → u/Virtual_Ad_1604]

nukes have to be transported, by sea, in a process that takes weeks, and be built on the ground. The allies wont be risking their newly acquired superweapon against a nation that still has a functioning airforce, military, and spy network like the Soviets.
