I'm not a historian, but here goes.
POD: FDR comes down hard on the Bonus Army. Patton goes in firing and hundreds are killed and thousands imprisoned. FDR nullifies the Service Certificates of everyone who participated.
Smedley Butler then accepts the offer to lead the business plot. The organizers are actually able to put together close to the claimed army of half a million and they march on Washington. Having alienated much of the military, FDR stands alone. Butler makes false promises to FDR of sharing power and convinces him to appoint him Chancellor of the United States. Weeks later, Butler is killed by an assassin. In the ensuing power struggle, Prescott Bush fights his way to the top and becomes Chancellor.
A fire breaks out in the capitol building and Bush blames it on communist terrorists. Bush issues a decree suspending civil liberties and cracks down on putative terrorists. Shortly afterward, Bush pushes through an enabling act and dissolves congress.
The 1930s are spent arming the United States and drafting the second largest military in the world (after the Soviet Union). Bush sells as much oil to Japan as they want, so there is no attack on Pearl Harbor.
Skipping ahead a bit, in 1939, Bush secretly enters into the du Pont-Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. A month later, Nazi Germany invades Poland and Fascist America invades Canada. In early 1940, the US and Germany sign an Aircraft for Bases Agreement (due to militarization in the 1930s, US aircraft at the onset of this WWII are more advanced than in OTL). Germany is able to win the Battle of Britain and proceed with Operation Sealion.
With fighting still raging in Britain, Germany turns towards the Soviet Union. In the summer of 1941 German forces pour into the Soviet Union. Simultaneously, American forces invade across the Bering Strait. In the meantime, with an uneasy truce with the United States, Japan has moved as far south as Australia. What happens next?
