Hungary with WW2 Borders

Let's say Hungary defects to the allies during the later stages of WW2 and is thus able to retain it's WW2 boundaries (with the exception the Yugoslav border). It still ends up coming under Soviet occupation and otherwise has the same history as OTL.

This POD won't work. The Soviets won't keep those borders even with some sort of communist takeover and subsequent defection. Hungary's territorial gains are far more provocative than the adjustments in Dobruja that Bulgaria managed to maintain.
 
Can't happen with Soviet occupation, they would have to actually turn Stalnist on their own and hold their own against their new enemies all around them untill relieved by their new Soviet comrades. Only then, with Hungary showing incredible loyalty to Soviet forces can they keep their old borders. For example, they need to kick Romania's ass and make sure the Soviet can forcus elsewhere, only then will they be able to gain re respect from Stalin to keep their borders. Possibly.
