My personal speculation is that Germany would be a richer and more powerful country today, since it would be larger, and would not have lost some of its most historically and culturally significant lands (i.e. Königsberg, the historic capital of Prussia).
I can't find exactly how much of German land is west of the Rhine, but by looking at a map, it's clearly less land than the pre-WWII Ostgebiete.
Would France even be able to populate all of this land? Their birth rate has been lower than Germany's for centuries, not sure why.
I assume there would be fewer expulsions in this timeline, it seems like France's MO for Germanic populations was to assimilate them instead of expelling them (i.e. Alsace-Lorraine, French Flanders/Dunkirk)
Where would the dividing line between East and West Germany be? Possibly it would even be the Oder-Western Neisse line?
