So imagine that after taking over all of Europe except for Russia, Hitler decides that attacking the USSR is the stupidest idea possible and instead sits around fortifying his new empire and bombing England.
And then, as many of us like to hypothesize, Stalin attacks in 1943-ish. Because of shitty Soviet strategy, they don't get to Berlin, but end up taking great portions of eastern Europe which are undergoing the Holocaust. Sometime later ('45/'46-ish, maybe 1947), there is a stalemate and an uneasy cease-fire is called. As per OTL Eastern Europe is ruined and under Soviet dominance, but Nazi Germany is still intact and so is Russia though there is no Lend-Lease to bloster industry.

So the result here is that Western Europe, instead of being NATO, is a Nazi Empire which is probably antagonistic to both the USA and Russia, and still very strong. What I'm now interested in is:
- When would nazis get nukes? If they got nukes, would they try to use them to defeat Russia once and for all?
- Would Germany get Turkey and other Middle Eastern countries under its alliance?
- How would Japan be affected (I imagine things would turn out similar)
- What sort of relationship would the USA and USSR have?
- Would the USSR collapse sooner/later?
- Would Nazi Empire collapse? How and when?
- What happens to other nations?
- Is this plausible?

Your thoughts please.
