Allied resources are one thing.

However, Germany would have been able to get the resources it needed (via it's pact), for the fuel, steel, and bomb materials much easier. Which would have allowed them to further advance their rocket and jet technologies. Which was easily years advanced over anyone else at the time. Plus they would not have lost all of their battle hardened senior generals and troops in that war with Russia.
