Essentially, I would like to know a plausible scenario on how the map of Europe could look like this by 1945 with no WWII. I have a few ideas myself. Hitler or the Nazis do not have to be in charge of Germany, but can be if you prefer. It's up to you.

One suggestion would be an attempt by the Soviets to expand their influence into the Baltics/Finland (as shown on the map) and as a result the allies grow closer to Germany and allow it even more leeway. Essentially, a more aggressive USSR could possibly lead to this.

Edit: Oh, and to make it more interesting, what do you think the long term effects of this would be? Germany probably had to forcibly remove the corridor and upper Silesia from Poland, so it would have a bit of military experience, but since there was no major war in Europe in the early/mid 40s, societal views could vary greatly. Do you think the "peace" on this map is stable? Could it last? And who would win should war break out?
