So let's presume the standart Axis Victory Scenario:
The Wehrmacht crushes the BEF at Dunkirk, and as a result Britain is forced to sign an armistice with Germany in early 1941. With the war in the west over, Germany invades the USSR in mid 1941, overwhelming the Red Army. Germany secures the A-A Line by 1943 and the war in the east devolves into a protracted guerilla war. Germany stands victorious over the continent.
Now to the actual question: How would historiography look like in this world? How would Britain, the US and Germany classify the 20th century up to that point?
How would they classify the war?
How would the historiography of countries like France (the État Français had a rather ambivalent relationship with Germany in OTL) and Spain deal with the New Order?
Which role would the "Great Crusade against Bolshevism" (i.e. the war in the east) play?
