Hitler dies in 1941 and Barbarossa is delayed or canceled. Pearl Harbor still happens and Germany still declares war on the US. After this, Germany decides it can not afford war with Russia and the Soviet Union decides its in their best interest to sell to Germany/Japan (who they recognize as the weaker side) and let the Capitalists and Imperialists bleed each other. The Soviets also allow Germany and Japan to ship each other at least some stuff through the Soviet Union.
How would such a war play out? Can Germany and Japan hold out?
