Important questions that might have to be dealt with in this timeline:[]
See also: Why aren't the Nazis simply nuked?
How would a victorious Nazi Reich react to:
- The first nuke, and further developments, including nuclear power plants. Especially if the Communists get them!
- Space flight/ICBMs (consider that Nazi Germany was most advanced in rocketry, at this time)
- Wide-spread television
- Growing pollution, the hole in the Ozone layer, acid rain, the Climate Catastrophe
- IT innovations (computers, databases, networks, e-mail, the PC, office software...) Consider that Konrad Zuse created a working computer during the war which was more advanced than what the Allies had at that time!
- An invasion of Japan, let alone defeat and destruction
- A Sino-Soviet split
- Independent India trying to go its own way
- Independence movements throughout Africa, Asia
- The Civil Rights movement, other black and non-white movements
- Communist takeover of China, other important states
- Islamist movements, e.g. the Ayatollahs' in Iran (Khomeini was born before the PoD!)
- A tripartite (Nazis and fascists/Communists/Capitalist Christian Democrats) Cold War, if not with even more participants
- A breakdown of the Soviet Union (The Soviet Empire might last shorter if they don't have Eastern Europe to exploit)
- The Reich's bureaucracy growing sclerotic
- New kinds of guerillas (Che Guevara was born before the PoD!)
- Open power struggles among factions of their own
- An ally (Franco's Spain, Vichy France, or even Italy) trying to part ways with the Reich/fascism
- The holocaust becoming known by the public
- Germans demanding freedom/democracy (well, it's possible)
- Rock music, new drugs, the sexual revolution, in short: The counter-culture
- The invention of the birth control pill
- New Hollywood, video games, science-fiction/fantasy/horror
- Vatican II (maybe even a split?)
- A relevant neopagan movement, or widespread atheism
- Improved agriculture (which puts the Lebensraum idea into question)
- Food surplus, and growing obesity of "Aryans"
- An oil crisis
- An end of the gold standard (if there is a Bretton Woods equivalent)
- New kinds of organized crime
- Rise of the megacorps
