Originally, the M-R pact in 1939 was to split the territory as described by this map

What if it was left as it and Germany withdrew west of the Vistula (except Warsaw area) and kept Lithuania and the Vilnius strip? This would put them much closer to Moscow starting out in 1941 and would present a significant pocketing opportunity in eastern Poland.

I've always wondered how this would change things.

Thoughts?
