WWII War Aims by Mikroraptor
From the Proposals and War Aims That Didn't Happen Map Thread for TTL:
Following up on my map of Japanese war aims in World War Two, I thought that I'd show the mess that was the Axis plans for Germany after the war. Contrary to popular belief, which was greatly assisted by German propaganda, the Russians and French weren't planning on directly annexing Germany. On the contrary, the major goal was to create puppet states, and eliminate the "German menace". (just to be clear, I am not trying to show support for the axis, or any of their rather despicable actions) However, Russia did plan on taking all territories east of the Oder river, supposedly to protect the ethnic Poles there, and France was to annex Elass-Lothringen, Sarrland, and Luxembourg. East Prussia was to be divided between Russia and Lithuania, and it seems like Schleswig-Holstein was going to be given to Denmark, since it does not appear to be a part of any of the maps that I found. Oh, and of course Wallonia would get Liege back. As for what was left of Germany, that would be carved further into three seperate states:
The People's Republic of Germany (which actually was supposed to be independent, and allied with France, and not an Autonomous Commune as some claim), the State of Brandenburg (the rump Prussia, under Russian influence, which would have its capital jointly occupied by France and Russia for a period of 3 years), and the Free State of Bavaria (probably meant to be a puppet of Russia, and a place to deport Polish Catholics to).
