What if the Bismarck and the rest of the surface fleet stays in the Arctic/North Sea/Baltic area throughout the war, not raiding in the Atlantic at all, just maintaining their fleet in being status, controlling the Baltic, and threatening any supplies to Murmansk? How do the Allies respond to that and what changes for the rest of the war? I'd imagine for starters likely Brest isn't bombed so heavily, but Norwegian/German naval bases are bombed harder than IOTL, while there is not a commando raid on St. Nazaire. Perhaps more commando raids in Norway? What would the Brits/US keep locked down to defend against the concentrated German surface fleet?
