Recently I have envisioned a different, but not totally dissimilar WWII from the OTL. Right now this is just a big idea but I will be wanting to clear it up into a serious timeline.
Some POD's,working on the Timeline atm.
*Hitler and other Nazi leaders are killed or exiled in the 1920's after the failed Munich Coup.
*Nazism fails in Germany, Communism gains ground in elections of 1933. To prevent a Communist takeover Hindenburg puts the Army in charge upon his deathbed.
*Stalin does not purge the Red Army in the 1930's.
*Factions advocating an alliance with Soviets take control of Japanese Government, Sino-Soviet Pact stuns world in 1939.
*Soviets broker cease fire in China, Japan gains concessions.
*Spain becomes Communist, Yugoslavia in Revolution
*United Kingdom organizes a series of Alliances to face down the Soviets. Weimer Germany and UK ally after France falls into isolationism.
The Timeline will feature a alternate WWII between the Allies and the Communists. Some major/interesting differences I envision at this point.
+ German Army structure will be different from OTL. Without Nazi influence will be less mobile and more infantry intensive. Many familiar faces like: Jodl, Keitel, Model and Rommel will not be present.
+Japan will have significantly more forces to fight in the Pacific and in India as forces will be freed up from China. Likewise resources will not be as much of a problem.
+Anti-Communism will make U.S. far more eager to join War.
+War will feature extensive battles in the Middle East, Persia, India the Balkans and Alaska as well as the traditional WWII battlefields.
Blue: Allies
Light Blue: Countries with mutual assistance treaties with Allies.
Dark Red: Soviet Alliance (Alliance of Revolutionary Peoples)
Lighter Red: Japanese Empire (Allied yet to be a combatant)
