GB, those scenarios are basically ASB.

Plotters of that coup would have considered surrender to the Allies - they were clear about that part, in retrospect. Just not to the Soviets. I only outlined one scenario, and it is very plausible. I did mention a stalemate victory in 1944, and that one is also plausible. Just saying that both are ASB with no reasoning fails to prove your point.

They would've offerred to surrender to the Western Allies, but the Western Allies would not have accepted their offer. Ergo, they must fight on in order to force a peace through strength.
