What if, instead of dividing its territory up amongst Poland and Russian SFSR, an independent East Prussian state was established and brought into the USSR's sphere of influence?
The state remains majority German, instead of being subject to large scale Polonization and Russification.
Or maybe, instead of an independent (well, independent in name, actually a puppet of Moscow), it would be an SSR?
Would this have any significant effects on history from 1945 onwards?
