@RKORadio: I'm gonna make some maps. Will take some time, though.
@Wendell: The British Empire has more troops committed to Europe, while the US have more in the Pacific theater. Since you can only squeeze so many soldiers on a little island, I think they can spare some for China. They aren't spread all over the country, mostly in the NE around Beijing, in case Mao dares to attack from Manchuria.

And now a bit about post-war Germany:
Although many Germans hope for a reunification, at the moment the Allies forbid it. And besides, the different politics are driving the three states - the decentralized, conservative, free-market FRG, the Socialist SRG and the left-wing, centralized, but decidedly anti-Communist GDR farther and farther away from each other.
The three states even are looking into different directions internationally: The FRG to the US, France and Italy; the SRG to the Soviet Union (they have to); and the GDR to Great Britain under Attlee (Churchill lost the election of 1945,
although not as badly as OTL, and Attlee took over, but Churchill stayed in the government until the war was over).

The new German states and their governments:

Federal Republic of Germany (capital: Salzburg, as a compromise between Bavaria and Austria)
The Bundeskanzler (federal chancellor) is the head of state and leads the government. His power is quite limited, though, since the central government has only a few more rights than during the time of 1871-1918.
The five states (Hesse, Baden, Württemberg, Bavaria and Austria), i.e. their respective governments are represented in the second chamber of the parliament, the Bundesrat, which can block every law made in the Bundestag, the first chamber. Elections to the Bundestag are once in five years, starting in 1949. A party that wants to gain seats has to gain 5% of the votes in one state or win a constituency. Since Ludwig Erhard's reforms started in 1948, the economy is free-market.

Parties:
Christliche Volkspartei (CVP) / Österreichische Volkspartei (ÖVP) (christian-conservative), led by Josef "Ochsensepp" Müller / Leopold Figl
Deutsche Volkspartei (DVP) (liberal-national), led by Theodor Heuss
Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands (SPD), led by Karl Renner
Bund der Heimatvertriebenen und Entrechteten (BHE) (refugee party), led by Theodor Oberländer
Bayernpartei (BP), led by Josef Baumgartner
Kommunistische Partei Deutschlands (KPD), led by Johann Koplenig
Verband der Unabhängigen (VdU) (right-wing), led by Herbert Kraus

CVP/ÖVP: 33
DVP: 14 (but strongest party in Württemberg)
SPD: 28

KPD: 4
VdU: 3
Others (not represented): 6

(Yes, the central government isn't really powerful - agronomy, labor, police, culture, education from elementary schools to universities, and buildings are all state rights.)

Minister presidents:
Hesse: Werner Hilpert (CVP)
Baden: Leo Wohleb (CVP)
Württemberg: Reinhold Maier (DVP)
Bavaria: Hans Ehard (CVP)

----------------------------------------------------------------

German Democratic Republic (capital: Cologne)
The Kanzler (chancellor) is the head of state and leads the government, like the US president, and thus quite powerful. He's elected by the first chamber of the parliament, the Nationalrat. The second chamber, the Länderrat, isn't very influential. Elections to the Nationalrat are once in four years, starting in 1949. A party that wants to gain seats has to gain 5% of the votes in the whole state. The economy is similar as in Labor Britain: Banks, hospitals and mining were nationalized, other branches of economy are free.

Parties:
Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands (SPD), led by Kurt Schumacher/Erich Ollenhauer
Christlich-Demokratische Union (CDU) (christian-conservative, but weaker), led by Konrad Adenauer
Deutsche Partei (DP) (conservative to right-wing), led by Hans-Christoph Seebohm
