WI: Churchill's partition plan carried out?

Presumably Churchill was making a nostalgic stab at restoring the pre-WWI status quo as nearly as possible. Prussia in the north, Austria-Hungary in the south.
 
The South Germany in the map also appears to contain Carpathian Ruthenia.
In any case, Czechoslovakia would probably not be a Soviet puppet, and Stalin would have a heart attack.
 
Why does Austria have a part of Hungary?

One thing: The German Border in the East is further East, so the Poles need to be further East as well for that to work.
 
Stalin will not accept it involves him giving up on Hungary and Ruthenia or the allies giving up on Austria and south of Germany something that the will never accept.
Or have North Germany under soviets control and this south Germany under Allies or vice-verse.If north Germany is under soviet control it is very likely or put in great danger that Denmark and Norway will be or turn communist and also the low countries.

But if we are to combine states why not bring in Slovakia or/and Romania or/and the Czech

The only possibility of this is if the allies are controlling bough Hungary and Austria and probably the part of Czechoslovakia.

It is amazing the crap people will post Wiki-makeitupasyougoalong-pedia isn’t it?

That is actually a complete misrepresentation of a statement made by Stalin at Yalta of a thought Churchill had at a previous meeting of the Big Three (at Tehran). The actual proposal, that Churchill had dropped by the time the Yalta Conference began, had been for two German states, a Northern Protestant Germany and a Southern Catholic Germany consisting primarily of Bavaria. It did not include Austria; the British and Soviets had agreed well before the United States entered the war (November 1941 in fact) that the Anschluss would be reversed and Austria would once again be independent of Germany. At no stage was a union of Austria and Hungary considered since this would have violated the treaties of Saint-Germain-en-Layte and Trianon, effectively starting the whole stupid business off again.

At Tehran, while Churchill was talking of carving Germany up into two or three states and reducing Prussia into the smallest possible size, Roosevelt was discussing anywhere between five and fifty successor states!

It is worth considering that date when London and Moscow agreed to the restoration of Austrian independence and at the same time that Germany Eastern Prussia after the war would be divided between Poland and the Soviet Union – November 1941. So at a time when the Wehrmacht had so far proven completely unstoppable and were bearing down on Moscow, Stalin was able to calmly make plans for post-war Europe!
