Imagine World War 2 going a different route. Imagine German and Soviet pact of 1939 being just the beginning. There is no Operation Barbarossa. But a true alliance is formed instead, with Soviets joining the Axis forces. Could they change the tide of the war? What would such a conflict look like? due to the complexity, this is just the first part of a 3-part series.

"What if the Soviets had joined the Axis in the WW2?" Well... did you saw the video "Meet the Medic"?

The very possibility of the USSR joining the Axis was Churchill's literal worst fear.

"... The US would declared war on Japan, Germany, Soviet, and the rest of the Axis" Sad italian voice "Guys, we are one of the main pact of steel member"

Turkey getting surrounded in all sides by russo-germanic axis powers: This is Fine Switzerland: First Time?

You failed to mention the most powerful member nation of this new alliance - Tannu Tuva

I love how the Soviets don't even attempt to invade Afghanistan in the alternate Universe.

National Bolshevism may actually be a thing in this universe

A war like this would've dwarfed WWII in our timeline. It could possibly even last for decades, with generations of people living through and only for the war.

This is me and my friends playing a game of modded Crusader Kings 3. "You're getting Iran? Okay, then can I have Yugoslavia? Thanks!"

I would never say that Germany lost air war over Brittain, Hitler just changed objectives.

I can only imagine the pressure placed on the Manhattan Project in this timeline.

Point of note: Rommel was commanding roughly two divisions of German troops. But throughout the entirety of the North African campaign, most Axis troops were Italian. At the Second Battle of El Alamein there were 10 Italian divisions plus independent brigades. The Italian troops in North Africa actually performed very well considering their lack of modern equipment when placed under German command. At the Battle of Gazala, which is considered Rommel's most impressive victory, Italian troops outnumbered their German counterparts 2:1.

TBH this alliance would likely be too unstable. They'd both be completely looking for the right time to take out or annex or coup their ally and bring them under direct control or just win a decisive victory so they can have the upper hand and don't need to worry about the other side doing it.
