So I had this idea that a combination of German sanity and Soviet incompetency leads to the Allies taking Berlin and the eventual Iron Curtain being on the OTL Soviet border. No Warsaw Pact, although Yugoslavia still goes communist, they remain unaligned due to being surrounded by NATO. I know this might lead to no Cold War at all, but let's assume for the sake of the thread that there is one, although the Soviets are obviously much weaker. My original idea for this came from a more "Asian" Cold War, where the Soviets are weak in Europe, but have a Communist India (including Pakistan, I know borderline ASB) and perhaps Manchuria on their side (give or take smaller states such as Iran and Afghanistan), while KMT remains in power in the rest of China.
I know this does not seem to be related but bear with me.
So, given how there is still a Cold War, how would the occupation of Germany look like? I assume there would be a Polish Zone as well (likely OTL DDR?) and Königsberg may still go to the Soviets.
Would, in the face of tensions rising, the occupation zones be merged? Would they allow limited German rearmament? Or would they break up Germany to smaller states?
