I seriously doubt the western Allies could have beaten the Soviets militarily in 1945-46, especially with the war in the Pacific still going strong.
We did have the atom bomb but not very many of them and it would have taken a lot to wipe out the huge Soviet army that was already in Germany and eastern europe. I think long before we could have built and deployed them in sufficient numbers to do so, the Soviets would have been so closely engaged with our troops their use would have hurt us as much as them.
