Here's Germany in 1914.



What PODs do we need for Germany to keep these borders until 2017 and beyond?

For starters, I'd say we need to avoid the First World War that beget the Second, as well as any further German land grabs or claims, for example into Austria-Hungary. This move alone should help take these borders intact into the 1940s, since without WW1 we may not see the rise of the USSR and other destabilizing factors that change borders.

But there's also the issue of Polish independence, France demands on Alsace-Lorraine, and Danish demands on Northern Schleswig. The first, that of Poland may become tricky, especially if Russia gives any land to the Poles or Austria-Hungary collapses through domestic ethncity-based separatist movements.
