Now, the most generic way for people to have a Germany win WWII scenario is by having the soviet union to get in some kind of peace treaty with the Third reich and thus making the allies lose the willpower to continue the war, however what if the following scenario happens:
The Third Reich does not takes Moscow in '41, as OTL, but they do capture baku and Astrakhan on the fall blau as in some of the scenarios made by @Onkel Willie . As the war progresses the germans continues pushing into the soviet union, capturing Murmansk, Leningrad and coming really close of taking Moscow, but the allies keep their progress in the west by enacting the operations torch and overlord, and with a strong pression from the west the german war effort collapses and the soviet union manages to push them back.
Now the war is over, there are some things to consider:
1- Basically everything from Murmansk to Baku was under german occupation and it was crushed on the german retreat, and while Moscow was not captured, the city was susceptible to heavy air bombardment.
2- Do the allies allows the soviets to take over the 1940 borders, or they will protect the Baltics, Moldova and eastern Poland from the soviet agression?
3- How this will affect the soviet union? In otl they plundered eastern europe and brought a lot of spoils, both ideologically for defeating ultranationalism and stabilishing their puppet states, and economical ones for creating the Comecon and looting resources from their puppets, including "prize" platoons responsible for looting german machinery.
4- How does Germany fare? Is de Oder-niesse line still going to happen, or the original allied plan to restore germany to it's 1937 borders will be enacted? Can Prussia be split between lithuania and Poland since the soviets are not able to take over it?
