A "what if" scenario I have imagined is what if the Germans had not tried to annex any territory when they attacked the Soviet Union but instead offered to the Ukrainians and Baltics their own independent countries, no strings attached, if they helped in the fight against Stalin. Germany would have destroyed its only rival power on the continent and the Ukrainians and various Baltic people would have gotten their independent countries.
Of course, such a scenario precludes the Nazi mentality that the Germans were the master race destined to rule the world and thus precluded the whole second world war in the first place.
