So here’s the scenario: In 1939, The French occupy the German city of Saarbrucken like in OTL, entering Germany on September 7. But then, Warsaw holds out just long enough to breach the German lines by September 29 and never surrender (the POD). With the battle for just one town still at a stalemate by October 2, Hitler sends troops into another town, Strasbourg, hoping to divide the French forces. This too, fails, as Hitler waited too long; the French manage to hastily prepare themselves for such an invasion. The German troops have still not conquered the two cities by October 4. A British bombing raid occurs on southern Germany (focused on Freiburg) the next day. Fearing he may have bitten off more than he can chew, on October 9, Hitler either privately or publicly proclaims to the French and British a desire for a meeting with the two country’s leaders in order to restore peace. On October 10, representatives of Britain and France agree to meet with Hitler from the 12th to the 18th, knowing they have the upper hand. On October 20, 1939, after less than a month of fighting, the war ends with the Scapa Flow Agreement (as it is signed aboard the British battleship “Royal Oak” stationed there), ending hostilities between the three nations – for now…

My question is, what would be in the agreement, and what would happen next?
