AHC: Germany restored to its Weimar era borders

Firstly, nit-pick - Pre-WW2 borders for Germany doesn't mean Weimar era borders.

Secondly, this probably requires a communist East Prussia being TTL's East Germany, with the rest being either a neutral or Western Allies occupied in its entirety.
 
AFTER THE FALL OF THE BERLIN WALL?

At this point nobody in Germany wanted to restore the 1937 borders except Neo-Nazis and other far-right nuts. Since 1970 and Willy Brandt's "Ostverträge" Germany accepted the eastern border and even the CDU accepted the eastern border when Kohl became federal chancellor in 1982.
 
Some odd civil war splits Poland in half along an all too well known border and for some obscure reason West Poland willingly joins Germany (and Germany lets them join)

Yes, that idea is extremely silly but that's about the best one could get with a post-1989 PoD. (and that hasn't even tackled Kaliningrad yet)
 
being busted up into hundreds of city-states was pre-WWII borders at some point for Germant so Calbear's Anglo-American/Nazi war technically fits the OP's challenge.

Have Germany restore its Pre-WW2 borders after the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Impossible as one of the preconditions for Germany in the "Two (GDR/DDR) Plus Four (US/UK/Fr/SU) Treaty" to permit the reunification was for Germany to give up territorial claims beyond the 1990 borders of East and West Germany. If the Germans didn't agree, they wouldn't have been permitted to reunify let alone expand to their August 1939 borders.
 
Especially since in 1989/1990 there were hardly any ethnic Germans living east of the Oder-Neiße border. The flight and evacuation of the civilian German population before the advancing Red Army in the last few months of WWII, the post-war ethnic cleansing of those areas by the Polish government and the movement of most of the few remaining ethnic Germans there as late repateriates to overwhelmingly West Germany in the 1970s and 80s had seen to it.

Maybe if the Berlin Wall falls in the 1960s as the result of a WWIII that leaves Germany surprisingly unscathed.
