Assume Nazi Germany is defeated before December 1941 without either Soviet or US forces taking part directly

Either weather problems cause Nazi forces to slow down in May 1940

Or (my favorite) some far thinking people persuade Britain to concentrate of tactical aircraft (rather than the air power fantasy) and France develops an effective tank force. Germany loses significantly in the West by Mid September and Stalin decides not to risk war with the West so stays put.


Obviously Hitler cannot be left in power but


Do Britain and France (and Probalby Poland and maybe Czechovolvakia) try a long term occupation.

Or do they decide that Germany would be okay if it had elections (despite the earlier experiment)#

Also is it possible that the Anschluss will be allowed.

One idea I have had (though it is probably not realistic) is a somewhat constitutional monarchy under the Hapsbergs being put in place

Oh and does this change Japan's behaviour to the point of not attacking the US?
