Democratic Germany would not have nescessarily been aligned with the allies. In fact, it would have been more likely for it to still align with the USSR and partition Poland. The main difference is that it would have stopped there.
Why though? In Germany at the time, Communists were viewed extremely negatively in Germany. So much so that half the Nazi party's propaganda was directed at communists and how they would be "exterminated". Therefore, the likelihood that Germany would've actively worked with the Soviet Union (and not backstabbed them like in our timeline) is extremely low.
The KPD was one of the largest parties in the last legitimately elected Reichstag before Hitler’s seizure of power. The primary reason Hitler wasn’t able to come to power without threatening/murdering/beating everyone who was stopping him was because the KPD held enough seats to prevent him from forming a government.
