Although, a couple years ago someone explored this scenario more. They concluded that if the war between the WAllies and USSR is bad enough, Japan unconditionally surrenders to the WAllies earlier hoping to be shown favor as anti-Communist. Even if the surrender is before the USSR declared war on Japan, the Soviets invade Manchuria, Korea, and South Sakhalin/Karafuto anyway. The WAllies, already at war with the USSR, support the Nationalists/Kuomintang in trying to take back Manchuria from the Soviets and Chinese Communist Party. Meanwhile, the WAllies and possibly re-armed Japanese soldiers combat the USSR in Korea and South Sakhalin/Karafuto (over in the European Theatre, re-armed German troops are used). With no Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, ATL will tell of the Atomic Bombings of Moscow, Stalingrad, and Leningrad.
