For some reason, Italy turns communist in the 50s or 60s (big economic crisis, maybe because of an earlier oil embargo due to an English occupation of the Suez Canal). The French communists, enthusiastic about this, follow the Italian example and size power in France.
Surronded by communist countries, the FRG has no other choice than to enact commie-friendly policies - remember that France is one of the occupation powers. The Socialist Unity Party and its western branch, the DKP, slowly take over the FRG institutions and the GDR absorb the whole state in the 1970s.

The most possible way would be where soviets allow the east germans to have a demilitarized democratic socialist state with multiple competing left wing parties. Instead of jailing Wolfgang Harich they embrace his program of humanistic multiparty socialism in the mid 50s.
