What if the Soviet Union declared war on Germany just as Fall Gelb is getting underway? The Red Army is in no shape to go to war with Germany after just winning a pyhrric victory against Finland, but let's say they do it anyway. The Germans had pretty much every trained division they had on the Western Front against France, so the Soviets could certainly make some early progress. Commies marching into East Prussia would scare the hell out of the German leadership. A disrupted Fall Gelb might not be such an easy victory for the Germans, and they'd be caught in a two-front war that they can't realistically win.
