Who knows what might have happened but in 1952 Stalin proposed reuniting
Germany with Germany becoming a neutral state not aligned with either

the east. As one of my links pointed out reintegrating the east is still a
problem.
 

Probably wise not to take the offer. Stalin wold have bribed his way to
controlling a united Germany, just like Putin is doing now in the US and
several EU countries.

At the very least Finlandization style, yes, very likely.
