With no PoDs prior to Jan 1945, first, what can convince Eisenhower not to scrap the original plan of marching onto Berlin, and second, how can the Allied forces reach Berlin before the Soviets (or, at the least, reach the outskirts of the city around the same time as the Soviets)?

What happens then? Is Hitler or Goebbels being take alive now within the realm of plausibility? How does this affect post-war Europe? And the outbreak of the Cold War (assuming it still even happens)? And what other butterflies are in the running?

EDIT ADD: OK, you can have PoDs as far back as mid-December 1944, but no earlier.
