How does WWII go down with an Allied Italy and an Axis Soviet Union?

Conversely, General George Marshall, the U.S. Army Chief of Staff, calculated that without the Eastern Front, the United States would have had to double the number of its soldiers on the Western Front.[110]

Memorandum for the President's Special Assistant Harry Hopkins, Washington, D.C., 10 August 1943:

In War II Russia occupies a dominant position and is the decisive factor looking toward the defeat of the Axis in Europe. While in Sicily the forces of Great Britain and the United States are being opposed by 2 German divisions, the Russian front is receiving attention of approximately 200 German divisions. Whenever the Allies open a second front on the Continent, it will be decidedly a secondary front to that of Russia; theirs will continue to be the main effort. Without Russia in the war, the Axis cannot be defeated in Europe, and the position of the United Nations becomes precarious. Similarly, Russia’s post-war position in Europe will be a dominant one. With Germany crushed, there is no power in Europe to oppose her tremendous military forces.
 
Italy stalls the Anschlus by a year or two, Stalin makes it clear Hitler is the junior partner, they work well together until late 1943 when each decides they want more land than the Bug-Iasi frontier allows. At that time the USSR controls most of mainland China and is across the Indus River on multiple locations while the Nazis are planning a 1944 invasion of Britain having secured Gibralter, Malta, and destroyed the Suez Canal. Germany falls in mid-1947 and Russia follows in late 1948. The Cold War becomes a tripartiate affair with the US/North America against a European Federation based out of Strasburg/Strousberg against an expanded Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere under a Japan that left the Axis after the USSR joined in late 1940.
