Are there any Axis victories that are realistic?

AANW ends with the Reich getting defeated by the WAllies in a war that lasts between 1954 and 1960 resulting in tens of millions of deaths from combat, disease, murder, starvation, suicide and WMDs.
The Nazis still implode amid a devastated Europe. Either way, the Nazis don't make it beyond 3 decades in power in either timeline.

Nazi Germany and to a lesser extent Fascist Italy are the only Axis Powers nations that could have won World War II under specific circumstances primarily 1940 when the former is doing real well with the Blitzkrieg tactics.

Imperial Japan is very unlikely to win especially after Pearl Harbor given the resource disparities with the United States.
 
Does anyone know if Thousand Week Reich is available in TL format? I thought it was just a HOI mod?
TWR was originally an ATL universe created by @AP246 , it was later adapted into a HOI4 mod (that will hopefully be released in this weekend). Basically the Mod starts in 1952 and from there is what the player and the AI make of it, while the ATL has a timeline written up to the 21st century.

I've always thought Valtakunta depicted a post-war Axis world pretty well, even if it had to make concessions to realism like any Axis-victory timeline. Unfortunately the website is missing a lot of content nowadays, so you'll have to use the web archives to get more of the backstory.
 
The Last Article by Harry Turtledove - a short story showing the immediate aftermath of the German conquest of India from the British.

It’s not particularly realistic in terms of the scale of the German conquest; the backstory mentions a successful German invasion of Britain, the total German victory over the USSR, and all of that proceeding the mentioned successful invasion of India. But I think that it’s realistic in the sense of showing the inherent cruelty and violence at the heart of Nazi ideology.

The story features Gandhi and Nehru, in the immediate aftermath of the German victory, attempting to use non-violent protest and civil resistance to get the Germans to leave India. Far too late, Gandhi learns that this tactic only has a chance of working if the targeted authorities behind unjust laws or an unjust regime also have a conscious that can be reached, and if the unjust regime itself shows restraint in dealing with peaceful protesters.
