How powerful would Germany with pre-fall of France borders

Say Germany manages to make peace with the Western Allies leaving it with it's 1939 borders and it's half of Poland and doesn't go to war with the Soviet Union.

How powerful could Nazi Germany get with roughly these borders

I think it's kind of ASB to have them stay at those borders and never seek to expand further and have the allies accept this. But if that's the case, they're still pretty strong. It's basically modern Germany, Austria, Poland, the Czech Republic, and most of Slovakia. The GDP alone would be enough to make them a European juggernaut over the next decades. Pair that with the fact there'd be friendly governments in Hungary, probably Romania, and maybe Italy depending how things shake out, and there's firm groundwork for a central European bloc to oppose Soviet expansion. But as I said, this borders happening without war or an appetite for MORE territory is basically ASB.

The German economy melts down unless they get an enormous amount of reparations / plunder from the West. However, AH wouldn't pass up his chance to strike the Soviets with peace in the West anymore than he didn't pass up his chance without peace in the West.
