What if the Nazis occupied Lithuania - and the Soviets more of Poland - as had been the original division of the spoils in the Molotov-Ribbentrop agreement?
For one, a Polish SSR is likely to be created, which I suspect wouldn't be reversible if the Union is among the eventual victorious powers.
But a more pressing question: Assuming Barbarossa occurs in a similar manner, how would the first year play out? The Germans are positioned to cut off the Baltics and attempt to snatch Leningrad sooner. The Soviets have a sort of Polish salient that would make for different planning.
Seems interesting as a counterfactual scenario.
