What if the wAllies prevented the German breakthrough during the invasion of France? Maybe there is a different Mechelen incident or none at all, leading to the Germans occupying Belgium and the Netherlands but getting bogged down in France.
How do the war and the diplomatic situation unfold from that point on?
I'm particularly interested in these things:
1. Hitler's grip on power, and how a drawn out war in the west would affect it.
2. What this would mean for the Soviet-German alliance, since this would butterfly all of Hitler's subsequent plans as we know them.
3. Italy's entry into the war and German-Italian relations.
