Assuming Stalin only wanted to occupy the former Reich, it would be a very short campaign. Soviet ground forces could have blitzed across W. Germany in a week under the conditions you suggest >>"Stalin's former allies have demobilized entire armies and have sent many of their armed forces home. " By the time Truman could have mobilized, the Reds would have taken over France and the "Low Countries" too. Are you creating a "BoB '46"?
