What if in 1932 France had given their construction plans for the Dunkerque-class battleships to The Netherlands? And what if that prompted the Dutch Navy to start designing the 3 Design-1047 battlecruisers in that year(OTL only in 1938), and make it possible for them being laid down around 1935/1936(maye even earlier) and be ready for combat before 1940?
Effects on the war? Make note they would be battlecruisers as modern as the Scharnhorst-class.
