Supposing that Germany doesn't go for the Sicklecut route and sticks with the rerun of the Schlieffen Plan in 1940, gets stuck in an attritional war that doesn't look like its going there way, Hitler is toppled in an army coup and Germany falls apart in a Civil War by 1941-42, leading to the Anglo-French and Soviet moving in Germany, what would the result be if that touched off a Soviet vs. Anglo-French-Allies war in 1942? The Anglo-French probably would end up with some German army units coming over to resist Soviet domination, while the Soviets don't get much help from the Germans, just the communists and socialists helping to run Germany, same with Poland. I'd imagine that Stalin would move into Romania, Hungary, and Czechoslovakia at a minimum too.

How would that war play out?
