RL delayed this, but here it goes.
I know this is a touchy alternate history question: supposing the commies don't overrun Europe, would NATO-aligned Yugoslavia under a constitutional monarchy manage to avoid the ethnic conflicts that broke down the historical one in the 1990s?
The most voted option was 2 - an express delivery of ITZ to Moscow, and so it shall be, but the situation at the frontlines went through too many changes for several months until the mid September when the next nuke will be ready to be put in a single update, thus the events leading to the hammer of the gods striking down the Red Square had to be divided into 3 chapters, starting with this one.
Also, even if Germany wins, I'm considering the possibility of modding an event that makes post Bitter Peace Soviet Union and the non Maoist Communist China merge into
Eastasia a Super-Zerg Soviet Union because
Judeo-Bolshevist Melonhead Khazar Reptilian Shapeshifters won't give up the Multikult Librul White Guilt New World Order so easily I want the game to remain interesting until somewhere around the year 2000, which is when the extended tech tree ends.
PS: the idea of the alliance of Germany reborn being called Eurocorp was inspired by
Hellraiser 's cool but unfinished CYOA
Europareich 2057, and since the DRP won the elections in Germany it is essentially an
greedy melonhead Banksters conspiring to exterminate the last Neanderthal descent people multikult and austerity-immune version of the European Union with fascist rather than librul economic and immigration policies.

Götterhammer, Kapitel I : Unser Erlösung für Polen
(Hammer of the Gods, Chapter I: Our Redemption for Poland)
Arditi: Endkampf
As the Bolsheviks continue to send more and more men to the slaughter, to choose between dying by the might of the Tiger III or by their own "comrades" shooting them down for cowardice, the arrogance and megalomania of Bolshevism knows no limits, as they redraw the map of Europe, creating a satellite kebab, and Greece's chances of taking back their clay are not merely slim, they are completely hopeless. It is up to the Kingdom of Yugoslavia now to be STRONG in these dark times.
With an air force composed by prop aircrafts, as obsolete as most of their hordes, the Soviet Air Force was not just defeated, it was annihilated, and the Luftwaffe rules supreme over the skies of Eastern Europe, slaughtering any Bolshevik aircraft that dares to come.
A bold, risky plan was approved as massive offensives continued against the German positions over almost the entire front. The goal: to push the Bolsheviks back and encircle even more of their seemingly endless scum, and most importantly, to force the illegitimate Bolshevik satellite known as East Poland into capitulation, and hope freedom fighters who did not forgive or forget Katyn will take advantage of it to cause much chaos over the Bolshevik front lines, and that what is left of their tiny military will defect to the Polish Republic restored by the Warsaw Uprising.
Thanks in large part to the technological superiority of the German Federation and to air supremacy, in spite of the river crossing, the capital of Bolshevik Poland has fallen, and this could be the chance to bring it down for once and all and reunite Poland as it happened already with Czechoslovakia.
But, the massive assault against Warsaw, the defenders of the city where Poland rose again, ironically the same who once conquered her, they held heroically while the noose was tightening. It was a risky bid, to encircle the Soviet forces attacking Warsaw, but it would be a crushing victory if successful, and critically important as the Bolsheviks can afford to waste more tens of millions of lives if they have to.
The lines at Slovakia were successfully held against even more massive red tides, the superiority of the German Army being the only reason their boots aren't trampling over Paris.
Warsaw rises again, burying dozens of thousands of reds, and it is only a matter of time for another much needed successful strategic encirclement, if everything goes according to the plan.
The Red Army may be massive and outnumber the Eurocorp forces by far, but many of their divisions are severely understrength, while near the entirety of the Bundeswehr is at full strength thanks to superior logistics ensuring reinforcements will arrive soon. Plock will be conquered, but will the thinly spread forces holding such pocket defend their lines long enough for the encircled commies to be crushed?
Expectedly, they throw everything they got in a counter offensive against Plock. The time has come for one more push for Prussia.
Reinforcements are being redeployed to Plock, if it is successfully held, the fortunes of the war may begin to shift, and Germany may be able to start an offensive at the Baltic. Yet, it is the collapse of the "People's Republic of Poland" that will truly be a trump card for Europareich, as Eurocorp was informally called within certain parts of Germany, particularly Bavaria.
They try everything they can to attempt stopping the German army from achieving another great victory, but mobility will prevail over massive numbers of scum.
The most important battle in this important strategic act of mobility is won, with, for a change, the reds suffering much greater losses. If Chelm holds, their doom will be inevitable.
Fortunately it was not only at the southern front that Germany was progressing. The reds folded to the superiority of the Bundeswehr across Slovakia, and there was another opportunity for encirclement in those front lines.
Even better, Torun was about to be retaken, the Bolsheviks were running in fear even with superior numbers! SIEG HEIL!
However, holding Torun would be complicated, specially because of its precarious infrastructure.
(I wish I was good at drawing)
Developed 1951, the Panzer V-A Gepard was essentially a modernized, more lightly armored Panzer V Panther that sacrificed protection, but not firepower, in exchange of mobility and lower production costs. During Weltkrieg III, most motorized divisions in the Bundeswehr had brigades formed by these tanks. The technological and tactical superiority of Germany was such that even when facing their aging T-34/100 main battle tanks, the Panzer V-A Gepard oftenly brought uneven tank losses against the Bolsheviks.
They had no chance, as once again superior training, superior strategy and superior weaponry prevails against superior numbers.
SIEG HEIL!
Unfortunately the situation at Slovakia began to take a turn for the worse while all Bolshevik attempts to break the pocket at Siedlice have failed.
With the failure to advance through the rugged terrain of Slovakia, the Bolshevik counter offensive brought some losses, and the situation worsens in the South, but there is no reason for despair.
The counter offensive was halted, and Slovakia is secure.

When the Soviet Union created a satellite Greek state, the same, perhaps in a sense of self-preservation, aware of the nuclear annihilation that has been going on since ITZ began, begged for peace with NATO, and they managed to gain it as the Yugoslav front deteriorated further, as long as they would stop the Soviets from using their territory to launch attacks. The last remnants of the legitimate Greek government took refuge in insular Greece, setting their capital at Cyprus, and were outraged with the "Western Betrayal" as they saw such willingness of the West to sign a separate peace treaty with the Greek Bolsheviks, dividing Greece in half.
Holding onto Torun proved to be impossible, but such was no reason for panic, specially because East Poland was on the verge of total defeat.
If Lwow falls, there will be only one Poland and WEST POLAND IS BEST POTATO, of course.
No Bolsheviks in East Prussia!
Boldly the German forces launch an offensive against Lwow with heavy air support, hoping such will allow them to break through in spite of their small size, before the red hordes arrive as reinforcements.
The loss of Torun proved itself to be a victory for what it allowed to happen. Once the wasteland formerly known as Elbing is secure, another encirclement of hundreds of thousands of Bolsheviks will ensue.
"Germany can be as much of a honest but terrible enemy as it can be of a honest and loyal friend. The West(NATO) forgot Poland long before their indifference to our Uprising at Warsaw, and were it not for a turn of events most would have believed to be unthinkable had it not happened, there would be no free and independent Poland after the end of the previous war. And now that both Polish and German soldiers fought together, from Gdynia to Krakow, to defend the sovereignty of the Polish nation and to reunite our country, putting an end to the illegitimate and tyrannical government of the People's Republic of Poland, against the odds of massive Soviet armies, although those responsible for the atrocities commited against our people during the 1940s cannot be forgiven, today the German nation has redeemed itself from its past crimes against Poland." -
August Zaleski, current president of the Republic of Poland, formerly also known as West Poland.
"The free migration treaty will give to all Prussian refugees from the unforgivable genocide the Bolsheviks did citizenship in the Republic of Poland so they can, if they wish, return to their homeland at Prussia, already defined as part of the East Elbian self-governing region, as soon as the red scourge is defeated and expelled from Prussia, while the Poles residing there, who were without exception as much of victims as the Germans, for they were forced to move away from their homes by the brutality of the Bolshevik ethnic cleansing, with those who refused slaughtered, another crime from a combined series of Bolshevik atrocities that far outweigh those committed by the 3rd Reich, will likewise have their chance to return to their lost homes once the decisive blow of the great hammer of the gods crushes the tyrants and madmen of Moscow." - Chancellor Karl Dönitz
Lwow was only one of many cities where the reds ruthlessly commited the ethnic cleansing of all Poles, forcing them to move to parts of Prussia and Pommerania. It was for now securely in the hands of Poland, but the Bolshevik, in spite of all the encirclements, still had a massive army, and soon the front lines would stop being fluid as of now, and become hard to break through again. The German command was determined to advance as close to Moscow as possible while there was time amidst the massive chaos the capitulation of the People's Republic of Poland brought. Their surrender triggered an almost immediate reaction from their small army, as hopefully expected. Almost all soldiers of the PRP mutinied and executed all officers and commissars loyal to Bolshevism, swearing their loyalty to Poland and awating further orders. This opportunity however wouldn't last forever, so going in hard and fast was necessary to make them suffer.
It is estimated more than one million ethnic Germans were genocided in Prussia. Evidences found by the German soldiers instilled them with a thirst for revenge. The soldiers fighting over Prussia executed all reds who surrendered and took no prisoners during their battles. Who would care in the future, should the red menace be put to an end for once and all? History after all, is written by the winners. Plus, shooting soldiers surrendering is nothing compared to delivering ITZ through the skies.
A lone motorized division of the PRP armies integrated into Poland took what seemed to be a suicidal mission, to drive through undefended territories to encircle the Russians at East Prussia, and the German Army would not let such an opportunity causing such irreplaceable losses to their enemies go to waste, no matter what.
Moscow, could the reds be so dumb the chaos over East Poland left a gap in their defenses all the way to there? Some brave volunteers offered themselves for what was most certainly a suicidal mission, but the fall of Moscow, even if temporary, would be a massive morale blow for the already crumbling Bolsheviks.
Let the blood of the Bolshevik scum wipe away the tears of Prussia.
Meanwhile, over Slovakia, as the panicked Bolsheviks redeployed several divisions away from that front, the Bundeswehr launched another offensive, so far with success, taking back Debrecen.
Then, it happened. The hordes arrived, the Bolshevik had faster means of strategic redeployment than predicted, and the offensive over the Baltic stretched the German lines. Soon they would be put to more trials against massive numbers, but the reunification of Poland was truly a great feat, specially for the crushing encirclements it empowered, which have, combined with previous ones since the last days of May, put down almost, if not more than 40 Soviet divisions. Yet, there were many more of them, many, many many more, and now they would strike back and hard against the Baltic advance, while the ultimate vengeance for the crimes of the Bolsheviks would only be ready by mid September.
