98% Britain goes down because they had no food, ammunition, or weapons left because the US was the lifeline for them (go ahead - make up some convenient fiction to dispute that).

Once Britain is gone, the Soviets meet the full German military and is relegated to Siberia in less than 2 years, and falls to wandering tribes shortly thereafter.

Work hard on ignoring Stalin's pleas to the west to start an invasion to keep the Germans split.

Go ahead - be creative with your fiction.
