Postwar Nazi Culture

I'd like to see an ATL Falco and Kraftwerk. How would they differ from OTL in ITTL? Would "Rock Me Amadeus" and "Autobahn" still be hits?
 
There will be the occasional high-impact drama that usually has the same villains. Some example plots: Jews, communists, or both are infiltrating the country, and want to overthrow the noble dictatorship. OR, in a remote part of, say, Transylvania (propaganda, equating Jews to vampires!), "Jewhunters" uncover a secret community of fugitive Jews, but get trapped and have a harrowing adventure. OR, Jewish terrorists assassinate the American president and blame it on Germany, leading to possible war!
Very possible. I can see a German James Bond, say Johannes Bauer, hunting Sov, Amerikan, & Britische spies, & their Jew saboteur-collaborators, & being very successful in Occupied Europe. On the other side of the "Berlin Wall" (so to speak), Quiller (who started as a Nazi hunter, recall) would be bigger.
Science fiction would be less popular.
You might see alien invasion movies, and maybe adventures in the Hollow Earth or the Hollow Moon, but I think they might be officially discouraged, usually.
Don't forget the U.S. attitude in the '50s: alien invasion & mind control as metaphor for attack by Soviets. The "hidden Red" of the U.S. would be the "hidden Jew", the "enemy within". "The Thing", "Invasion of the Body Snatchers", The Puppet Masters, all products of Jewish infiltration & domination... Destination Moon would have heroic Germans (not called astronauts, natch--or under the same title:p) beating the evil Jew-sponsored Amerilkaners. Superman would be banned (& possessing copies'd probably get you jail, since he was created by Jews & published by Jews:eek::eek:), tho there'd probably be a German clone (complete with SS thunderbolts on his chest! Oberst Deutchmann?), & he'd probably be created by the government. (Think Justice Machine.)

I also think there's be much more acceptance of high fantasy & magic in pop culture, since it's more/less endorsed by the government: something like "Dresden Files" or "Buffy", where the hero actually uses magic, but is mainstream, like "Witch Hunt" (the Dennis Hopper film). Or where astrology solves cases.
 
having thought about this thread a second time, I would highlight Himmer's dabblings in the occult. If Himmer retains a high position in the Nazi hierarchy, no doubt his fascination with the occult would leak into the populace. Just as the 19th century Brits were fascinated by spiritualism, the 20th century Germans could be equally fascinated by neo-Paganism and even neo-Nordic mythology supplementing and eventually replacing Christianity. Already we can see how Wotan/Odin, Thor, the Giants and Valkeries influenced German spiritual development in the 30s and early 40s, particularly with the 1936 Olympics, various rallies and even the initials of the SS in runic form. It'd just be taking these beliefs and making it a state religion.
