I should point out here that Hess's nickname amongst the powerful Nazis was "Frauline Anna".
Yeah, he is a non-starter...

Or would he contact Poland and the western European states and suggest making war against the Soviet Union? Together, they might have a chance to win. But would they want to?
The western powers wouldn't want to because they were that averse to war and also the costs of such a conflict. Poland and some of the other eastern European states might be interested but they might not be very confident about victory without the OTL shock victories in the west. If Goring could maneuver Stalin into attacking someone or looking like it then its a possibility but would take some doing.
Furthermore does that really solve the social/economic problem for the regime? Waging a massive war won't ease their fiscal problems and while their doing it they can't really cut arms production to save money. Plus until their some way into the USSR can they expect much loot to ease the economic problem?
I still think that such an anti-Communist crusade would make an interesting PoD. Nobody's ever done that before?
However, it'd probably lead to a lack of food in TTL's western Europe. With millions of men away fighting in the East... especially if the war is lead badly... would people still think it's worth it?
