ISOT 1945 Germany swapped with 1939 Germany.

Because since the Nazis already control mass media and have their secret police infiltrating most civil organizations and the military, so the Germans will need a bit of a nudge, maybe a dozen kilotons or so, to go in the right direction. ;)

TBH the best we can hope for is mass Finlandization in the 1945 timeline, by this point we were actually contributing troops and were occupied by the USSR, and there is a saying that wherever a russian/soviet boot steps in it doesn't really step back.
If anything, the blowback after WWII was less than that after WWI, and we actually gained territory btw, and the Soviets were fine with that, and there was a sizable pro-Russian section of the population as well as a decent number of homegrown commies.
The interwar and pre-war periods were far from kind to us, so that was only to be expected.

Frankly I would have preferred if my country had stayed fully neutral in both World Wars, given our geography, though, that is nearly impossible.

In WW1 you should attack Turkey and become one of winners.And get Constantinopole.
In WW2 - soviets would take you anyway,but till 1944 you could remain mostly neutral and prepare few lines of fortyfications to slow them.And dyvision of volunteers changed per few month,so uour entire army would knew how to fight soviets.

Maybe you get Finland status then.But soviets would probably take Constatntnopole from you.
 
Logical,FDR would go for that.What next? sralin would want Europe,would FDR here gave it to him noe,when he do not have army ?
And you are right,even after putch germans would not agree to gave up on Sudetenland.
So,what would happen to Central Europe in this TL?

Europe from 1939 - it would be more funny.I see american army trying to contact USA and finding themselves there wanting peace.

Both sides have lost their forces in the affected area and this will generally hurt the western powers worst. However the Soviets haven't got off lightly either and there are a lot of America and allied forces elsewhere. Not enough to stop a determined Red Army in the short term but is Stalin going to risk war on the issue? Especially since he should be aware of how reliant the USSR still are on western supplies, the strength of allied air power, which is largely unaffected and also what the western powers are cooking up in the SW US. Its only a couple of months before a 1st test of the bomb and with the assorted agents Stalin has he should have a good idea of this.
