That sounds like a great "what if" post. The question is "which allies"? The Soviet Union wanted payback and an end to the Nazi regime in toto. They wouldn't have accepted any sort of separate German peace deal with Great Britain and the US. By the time of the plot the Russians were already in the process of clearing the Germans from Belorussia, the Ukraine and Poland.

"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
