German-Soviet Alliance? The Germans allied with the Soviets, defeated France as in OTL and began an air war since the German-Soviet alliance could not do anything by sea against the Anglo-Americans nor could they do anything by land against the German-Soviet axis. In the end the allies sign peace in exchange for the liberation of France and we have a triple iron curtain for the postwar period.

PS: Sorry for my bad English.
Interesting idea, and I've thought before about writing about a Soviet-German alliance. It's hard to see how it would come about, though. Maybe the Germans simply use the Soviets as a weapon to fight the Allies with before engaging in conflict with the Soviets themselves?
 
Or during the 1930s, the Soviets are more involved in conflicts (for example with Japan, or in Spanish War, or both) than IOTL and are successful, maybe they win quicker and easier in the Winter War as well, and the Purges are avoided or reduced (or at least not known abroad). So, Soviet Union looks like the military great power it actually was, and Germans abandon the idea of Barbarossa, which just became obvious suicide. Hitler may or may not accept it easily. On one hand, Barbarossa was his obsession. On the other hand, his main goal was to get glory and power for himself, and he did make a number of rational decisions (when not blinded by hubris), so if the Soviets really look (and are) too strong and German military leaders strongly oppose any war in the east, I can see Hitler turning his ambitions towards the British Empire (a "nation of shopkeepers") instead.

seems impossible. (stalemate) Germany was lacking in so many resources, leaving them between British blockade and unsustainable Soviet trade deal.

they (Germany-USSR) could have continued collaboration for a while but from German viewpoint the Soviets, remaining on the sideline of conflict were getting stronger, and from Soviet viewpoint engaging the Allies brings a traitorous turn from Germany.

Germany could probably strike a more generous deal to divide Poland ... without conceding Finland and the Baltics (their little trading bloc, pre-war) which leaves them in more sustainable economic scenario.

the issue is that Allies (certainly Great Britain) plan on using Soviets ... well they plan on using the BOTH, have them fighting one another and abandoning their cooperation?

AND from German viewpoint they are in such a bad trade arrangement with Soviets, made worse by conceding Finland and the Baltics (and eliminating Poland), which was their pre-war, pre-M-R Pact, trading bloc.

Germany tried to keep Soviets OUT of Bulgaria (and the Balkans), maybe a different course and German-Hungary-Bulgaria (with Soviet help) divide Romania? (it was considered a possibility at the time)

that might have Allies declaring war on USSR, whereas the Winter War did not?
