1) - UK still in the war -> Germany still needs to produce U-boats / Flak in great numbers and maintain a lot of aircraft in the West.
2) - Peace in the West (any kind, not the point) -> more aircraft for Barbarossa, more resources (no DAK - the resources / trucks more important than the divisions), no need to build so many U-Boats = more resources
again. Access to world markets for things like chromium, titanium, tungsten, aluminum, etc....
No need to have so many troops in the occupied west - lots of divisions on Norway in OTL, for example - more force available...
No need to build the Atlantic Wall - lots of resources free again...
No industry bombed..... more equipment build...
So, second case turns in a very different war....
