AHC: Franco-German alliance for WWII

Challenge: With a POD of after 1918, have a Franco-German alliance in a WWII analogue. A French puppet under Germany (ie OTL Vichy France) or a German puppet under France doesn't count.

Bonus points if the alliance doesn't have to do with either Fascism or Communism.

Germany and France go communist after World War I, while a Russian dictator seizes power and embarks on an crusade against communism.
 
Maybe if more of Europe goes communist? Great Britain is the best country to remove to drive France and Germany closer together, but they're not very likely to go communist. Maybe Italy, Spain, and more of the Balkans? That would bring the threat to France's borders, which might make them more likely to sign on to an anti-communist alliance with Germany. Having Britain become more isolationist would also help.

Without fascism or communism or some other trans-national ideology to present a common threat or bind them together, it's very difficult to do this.
