Britain and the USSR v the Axis powers

Whilst I find the situation interesting, the problem is keeping the United States out of the war with Germany, assuming a POD around December 1941 which the OP seems to imply.

Whilst Germany DOWing the USA isn't a clever idea, Hitler wasn't exactly known for doing rational things. There are two obsticles to overcome, both probabaly ASB.

1. Keeping Germany from DOWing in support of Japan
2. Keeping Germany and/or the United States from causing/manufacturing an 'incident' in the Atlantic in 1942 to provoke a US DOW.

Steve Rogers Sealion Fails scenario manages to avoid 1 but can't really avoid 2. Neither side wanted to avoid war once Japan and the US were at war so we're going to have to do something about that.

That said, *if* Germany can avoid the DOW, and *if* Germany backs off from the Battle of the Atlantic then:

1942 is going to play much as OTL. The only real difference is a very slight weakening of the Soviet Union from (presumably) reduced lend-lease whilst the US squashes Japan.
1943 will see some significant changes. Eventually, Britain will probably clear Africa and maybe in 1943. The Soviet Union is going to start to gain the upperhand in the East but has no motorised transport to make the big gains in the East.
1944-1945 is just a slugging match in the East as the Red Army grinds forward. Britain nibbles at the edges, taking islands and maybe, just maybe, Norway.
1946 - German resistance suddenly starts to collapse quickly as the Soviets advance into Poland and head to Berlin.
1947 - The end. The SU takes Berlin and Germany collapses quickly. Britain sweeps in to prevent all of Europe going communist but the final situation (different from OTL) is:

Western Allies:
UK; France; Belgium; Netherlands; Luxembourg; Norway (maybe Denmark)

Soviet sphere:
USSR; Poland, Germany (DDR); Austria; Czechoslovakia; Hungary; Bulgaria; Romania; Yugoslavia; Greece; Albania and (If they are unlucky) Finland and Italy.

Makes for a whole different Cold War.

That's some wishful thinking from your side right there. Just how would Germany suddenly start to collapse quickly?

Problem no 1: USSR Logistics. Not enough trucks to keep offensives going, and a deteriorating rail network. Not to mention Germans very likely blowing up the rail if/when they retreat as well as the Soviets having to regauge the railways when taken = Slooooooow advance, even if the Wehrmacht somehow miraculously evaporates on the Eastern Front.

Problem no 2: Manpower. While it may seem so, the manpower reserves of the USSR was not limitless. In fact the offensive into Poland and Germany was only possible due to the conscription of troops from the newly liberated areas of Belorussia and Ukraine. Not to mention that Stalin ordered workers from essential industries conscripted to sustain the offensive in -45. Without those areas liberated in -44 particulary during Bagration the Red Army would be out of manpower reserves.

Let's also not forget that by 1945 the Red Army infantry division was a rather skeletal structure compared to its western counterparts. Bayonet Strength (http://www.bayonetstrength.com/red_army/rus_red_bat) claims the TO&E strength of rifle battalions may have dropped as low as 300 men. Compare that to German battalions with ~700, and US battalions with 870. They halved the size of their rifle battalions, and it is generally agreed it is because there was no other way to keep that many divisions in the field.

It isn't going to be a bed of roses for the Germans either. By 1946, assuming the meat grinder of the eastern front, they are going to start to struggle to stop the Soviet Union for their own sheer manpower losses.

I'm well aware the USSR doesn't have limitless manpower or even many trucks, but this scenario specifically *isn't* the European Axis vs USSR, or even European Axis vs Britain and the USSR. It's likely to be European Axis vs USSR + Britain + some lendlease support from the USA (though no where near as much for the Soviet Union as OTL - but deliveries to the British will probably be nearly as much).

Maybe my timescales are out, but I think the 'Allies' in this scenario are going to win. Maybe its 1948 instead of 1947 or even 1949, but I'm a firm believer that Germany cannot defeat the Soviet Union in the above situation and indeed eventually the reverse is true.

That all said, maybe both sides (SU + Germany) see sense and cut a deal before we reach the very end game.
