I believe we were, in this case, assuming western Neutrality. Then I have much trouble accepting that the USSR could achieve conquering part of Eastern Germany in this AH match up. As I have noted before, the Soviets were nearly bled white in OTL by the Germans, particularly by 1944/1945. As well, they Soviets were extremely dependent upon Western military equipment (especially American) to sustain their logistics system to enable their OTl advances.

In this matchup, not only would the USSR be deprived of those aforementioned military supplies, they would face an Axis unburdened by responsibilities in the West. Thus, to assume the Soviets could achieve a favorable peace is simply implausible.
