Patton would have closed the Falaise pocket and dealt the Germans bigger defeat than Stalingrad....I thought you and Camp knew this stuff

Yes what a terrible mistake. Many experts believe had Allied command listened to Patton and allowed him to encircle the Germans at Argentan-Falaise, the war would have ended shortly thereafter. The allies could have marched all the way to Berlin unopposed....now imagine what Stalin would have thought of that.
This might have prevented east Germany from 50 years of hell under the USSR and maybe saved other east Euro nations too.
Are there any military history experts that actually agree with that and offer some kind of substantive reasons for that opinion?
Really?
