with a POD no earlier than October of 1939.
- West: Operation Dynamo fails/never happens. The halt order is never given or the BEF fails to retreat in time. Churchill isn't able to survive this politically. With the added pressure of the POWs the new Government signs a ceasefire with Germany.
- The blockade is lifted and Germany uses the plundered Gold to go on a shopping spree. Oil, trucks, machine parts etc.
- Germany betrays Japan and GB is focused on protecting its Asian colonies.
- Without the BoB the Luftwaffe is stronger. The troops sent to Africa IOTL instead are used to strengthen AG North.
- Leningrad falls and the Wehrmacht gets production priority after the massive losses of 41.
- At this point Germany is probably embargoed by the USA but Roosevelt isn't able to justify a Europe first strategy.
- Operation Blau party succeeds. Stalingrad is taken because the additional troops freed in the North are able to repel the offensives that threatened to cut of the whole Southern offensive. Stalingrad falls and the oil fields are threatened.
- In 43-44 the Soviet industry starts collapsing because of starvation and the neglect of producing trains, machine parts etc.
- When Japan is sufficiently pushed back (44 maybe?) and the USA and GB start thinking about Lend and Lease it is too late.
- The Red Army probably collapses against the German Summer Offensive of 1944 when Moscow and/or the oil fields are taken. The collapsing Soviet logistical system isn't able to distribute what little Lend and Lease starts coming in in late 43/ early 44.
- Widespread starvation, a collapse of industrial production and logistics make continued centralized resistance impossible.
- The SU collapses and the East is plagued by an apocalyptic famine. Some military formations continue resisting the Germans but most Soldiers are busy with finding food or fleeing eastwards.
- The Allies are unwilling to pay the blood price of cracking fortress Europe and the A-bomb isn't employed because the Nazis have all of continental Europe and the British POWs as hostages.
