With a POD after the beginning of WWII, is it possible for Stalin to Finlandize all of Eastern Europe rather than establishing subservient Communist governments? I presume transit and possibly basing rights would be required since East Germany will still be occupied. A further WI, might the West accept the idea of a unified, demilitarized Germany (e.g. the Stalin note) if there is evidence that Soviet 'satellites' are being permitted democratic self-governance?
