POD: While Fall Gelb succeeds brilliantly the most important German forces participating in the effort suffer more casualties than OTL. Thus the follow-on operation Fall Rot does not succeed and is cancelled after initial onslaught does not get through. By end of June the front has stabilized on River Somme. Due to situation looking better for France Mussolini has not declared war on France.
What will happen next? France has suffered a major military defeat, British forces have to be reconstituted, Belgium and the Netherlands have been occupied.
In the Mediterranean the situation is peaceful. Italy is still out of the war. In the Far East Japan is in no position to press for occupation of French Indo China. Supplies are flowing to Nationalist China. Japan will also not join Tripartite Pact.
In the US what will happen in the presidential elections.
The Allies are getting stronger but how long it will take to constitute forces that could liberate France under occupation, Belgium and the Netherlands?
Will the UK and France have money for it? Will they have will for it as communists are leading subversive action against France and UK waging war?
Germany has to reconstitute it's forces as well for 1941. With more casualties, what will the correlation of forces will be for a 1941 campaign? Now that Germany have better bases for waging war on Britain, how will the air campaign conducted?
How about Scandinavia? Will the Allies hold on in Northern Norway?
