Challenge: Sudetenland stays German post-WW2

Hey Guys,

Bit of a challenge for you all, how could we see the Sudetenland stay a part of Germany after the Second World War? I don't mean a Nazi victory or a stalemate etc. I mean a war in which Germany generally loses the same was as OTL (except with perhaps a few tweaks if necessary). While I'd prefer WW2 isn't changed drastically, the peace talks afterward can be altered significantly, e.g. if a different persons plan is used in the division of Germany.

If you're unable to do this, then how can you keep the Sudetenland German in respects to the Germans staying in the Sudetenland, not being expelled by the Czechs and Soviets?
 
Ending it very quickly, such as a more vigorous Saar Offensive and Stalin stabbing Hitler in the back in 1939, with a new German government replacing the old one. The new Germany is set up as a proper bulwark by the British and French whilst the Soviets occupy Poland and Czechoslovakia, not wishing to give back land to a communist country the allies agree to uphold the Munich Agreement.
 
Pretty much. My first though was the "French press the Saar Offensive" TL with a few tweaks.

Basically, Germany goes down so fast it surprises Stalin and prevents him from making a move against Poland. Heer coup against Nazi gov, Hitler dead or arrested. Stalin still occupies Estonia and Latvia, but Lithuania buys her time and declares war against Germany as it goes down, making the Soviets give up on occupying her too in order to not face a declaration of war from Britain-France-Poland.

Peace treaty:

- Poland formally annexes Danzig plus some border corrections in Silesia and East Prussia, retains Zaolzie. German population from Danzig and Poland expelled.
- Lithuania gets Memel back.
- Germany to pay war reparations, armed forces trimmed again, demilitarization of the Rhineland, East Prussia, possibly Silesia and Pomerania too.
- German evacuation of Bohemia-Moravia, plebiscites to be held all over the former Czechoslovakia over restoration of the country, independence (Slovakia, Ruthenia) or joining (remaining in) Germany and Hungary. The Sudetenland votes to remain in Germany.
- Revival of the Little Entente with Poland and Lithuania joining in, mostly directed against the Soviets.
