So ww2 is a war everybody knows and ww2 wouldn’t be the same with the ideologies we so closely associate with it so what if we reverse them? Getting Germany to be communist and Russia to be fascist (note: when I say fascist they don’t necessarily need to be fascist fascist just of a nazi like far right expansionists/revanchist policies and the like) and what kind of effect this all has on the world
My thought for a POD is Germany holding out long enough in ww1 for food shortages to turn into full scale riots or maybe revolution. The German communists would be more likely to be closer to democratic communism perhaps this could make France more likely to shift towards the right for fear of communists infiltrating the democratic system.
For Russia I kind of have a harder time the most I can think of is more dedicated support to the whites from the western powers perhaps leading to a white victory and a far right leader emerging victorious in the inevitable power struggle?
