I think it depends on what kind of POD are we talking about here...

Let's say if Hitler:

1. Declined to bail out Mussolini's Balkan/North African adventures (which means an earlier Barbarossa), and/or
2. Kept his focus on Moscow during Barbarossa

Could that knock the Soviets out of the war? If so, Nazi Germany might last long before disappearing under a wall of atomic fire...

Nope that is the same level as 9 meter long albino alligators in New York sewers, an early major defeat in Moscow would convince Hitler and his generals that the Soviet-Union is not to be underestimated more than 1 year earlier and perhapse before Pearl Harbour. When Pearl Harbour occured Hitler believed SU defeat was imminent and that 1942-1943 would be going into the middle-east through Iran and Turkey, from there into Egypt and perhapse India, knocking out the UK out of the war before the US was too problematic.

Caucasian oilfields would solve the fuel shortage problem, aftera while, Moscow wouldn´t.
 
There are alot of ways to have the Reich survive WW II. Most require Hitler to depart from this mortal coil by August of 1940.

Once the Soviets are engaged, the chances drop dramatically, once the U.S. enters the war they fall to virtually Zero (although the length of the war can vary considerably).

People seem to look at Hitler as if he was a weak_link, this isnt so, as his screw up in battle-planning only became a big factor long after Germany had pretty much lost the war.

Without Hitler the Nazi hold on the army and German population at large is vastly weakened. Hell without Hitler, Nazism itself is pretty much a corpse.
