Okay, okay. The general consesus on the board seems to be that, barring an extremely early (Read: Pre-Anschluss) POD, the Axis can't win WWII.

So, here's my question, then.

How little can the Axis lose WWII? Is it possible for Germany and/or Japan and/or Italy and/or their co-belligerents to maintain de jure and/or de facto independence? Can any of the Axis keep any of their extra-national territory? Could they get away with semi-autonomous regions, like Japan with a puppet Korea or Germany with a puppet BeNeLux?

Or, is the Axis inevitably doomed to be obliterated and occupied by the Allied powers?
