Although the allies would make initial gains - they would eventually be stalled and would in that time probably arm (re-arm?) German troops with better weaponry than they had in the war. The one thing the allies had more than the Soviets were the number of tanks. America had much more tanks that the Soviets, and a much larger navy. And because the war will not only be fighting the strain of less food incoming into the nation would also take its toll on the Soviets.

As for tiredness, spew propoganda the Soviets were worse than the Nazis and the Americans would continue fighting. Europe would be tired but they would end up fighting for survival.

I can see the Soviets making counter-attacks and storming back into Europe - but I would expect the defender to this time be much better at defense as the German numbers would be significantly augumented by the allies numbers. And then once the Soviets pour all their resources into the war, the allies could strategically retreat without the knowledge of the Soviets and use a nuke or two (they would only need 3-4, which they would have). This would cause chaos in the Soviet ranks and well the war might not go according to plan for the Soviets to say the least.
