If the Axis won WW2 would WW2 be called WW2?

First off I need to acknowledge that the name for this thread is pretty dumb. :p Anyway, if the Axis Powers won WW2 would the war be called something else? Part of me thinks that the war would be called something else because WW1 and WW2 follow a pattern. The same nations were involved and the same nations won, hence when looking back on history it's easy to consider WW1 as a "sequel" to WW2. In a world where the Axis Powers won WW2, however, this concept wouldn't really work.
 
Perhaps Germany would call it the Great Revolutionary War to refer to the fact that WW2 would bring upon a new era of Fascist dominance.

They would likely still call it "Der Zweite Weltkrieg". In a victory where Barbarossa was successful I could see the entire war being called "Der Blitzkrieg".
