AH challenge: Longer WW2...

Kind of the reverse of the Stop WW2 thread. How could we keep WW2 going without ASB intervention for 20 yrs?1]The Pod can be anywhere from 1920 onwards.Discuss........
 
Have the Soviets side with the Nazis somehow, early on in the conflict. Perhaps, perversely, the Allies do better early on in the conflict, and so fel lconfident about declaring war on the Soviets for something or other(maybe the invasion of the Baltic states?)
 
Firstly, nukes will have to be universally delayed somehow, the war can't go for that long with nukes in exsistance.

Secondly, Axis leaders become considerably more effective as war leaders. They take measures to increase their war production as early as possible and genuinely cooperate on strategy. As a result the Allies are pushed back much further than IOTL, but not knocked out.

Allied strategy becomes a Japan first one, and Japan is defeated in 1947. The allies then turn on Germany, but have no easy answers and rely on internal dissent and peripheral campiagns, but this is a slow process with no big decisive battles until 1955 when the SU re-enters the war and crosses the Volga into its former territory.
 
POD -- Russian civil war ends with a White victory, and a dictatorship forms around Kolchak. he allies with Hilter (or a TTL different fascist movement) and both industrialize. this leads to France and Britain fighting against Germany and Russia, and without a distinct advantage the war drags on for many many years.

I pity French very much. They have as much chances to stand their ground against such a steamroller as preschooler to stop mad elephant. English may survive because of Canal, although I would not bet on them winning the air battle against combined German and Russian air forces. It all looks like your idea is just new a twist of much-discussed "Old World vs New World in 20-year war" scenario.
