WI Nazi Germany vitorious what would todays world be like

[Kung Fucious]

Hitler's plans for his grand capital city would bankrupt and impoverish Germany while his plans for the East would put German troops into an endless insurgent fight that makes Vietnam look like nothing which would massively exhaust the public support of both the German military and the German public over time.

It also was literally impossible, as in the ground wasn't strong enough to hold the massive buildings Speer planned. They built a concrete plug to see if Berlin could handle the weight. If it sank less than 2.5 inches the project would get the green light. It sank 7 inches, Hitler said "fuck it" and disregarded the test.

The Reich winning WW II is exceptionally unlikely.

But the Nazis knew this?

The instant cries of "ASB" regarding this post are offensive. The OP simply asked what the world would be like if (regardless of the reasons) Nazi Germany had won WW2 and achieved all of its desired aims. This is one of the main staples of literary alternate history and is worth exploring.

The first cry of ASB was post 7. The second was post 20, by the same person. The vast majority of early responses were explaining why it isn't going to happen. How is this "instant cries of ASB." Furthermore, saying "disregard the reasons" is silly. The events leading into the change are just as important to the change itself. Nazi Germany winning because the United States is hit by a random meteorite is a bit different than a Nazi Germany barely scraping out a victory on the Eastern Front. The post-war world in both is also going to be very different.

I'm pretty sure a lot people people realise how messed up nazi were

Well at least maybe in the sadism departement that is, I admit corruption and incompetence of the nazi (outside of when they are portray in comedy) tend to be underestimated

I think a lot of people just can't wrap their hand around how evil the Nazis were.

I'd agree that people use "ASB" to mean "Extremely unlikely bordering on impossible", but it's just as offensive when someone asks an extremely unlikely outcome (such as "What would the world be like if the Nazi's won WW2?"), and then casually dismisses any attempt at plausibility with either "Who cares how they got there I just want to know!" or "This is supposed to be alternate history!"

But that is exactly what the OP wanted to discuss...not the inherent plausbility. And thanks to CalBear for finally giving a serious answer to a question that is remotely within the realm of plausibility.

There is a contingent of people who think they were brilliant people who nearly conquered the world against impossible odds because of how powerful they were. That only if a few decisions get made different/Hitler is a little different/someone else takes over in a coup/etc that everything would work out great. That National Socialism was really a great ideology to run a country on if only you got rid of the killing and softened up the leadership a bit.

This is all nonsense of course. The leadership of the Nazi's was not just sadistic, but flat out incompetent as well. And their government policy was a total disaster, including their economic policy.

Essentially what happened is they beat two vastly inferior enemies (Poland, Russia in 1941 with no officer corp and the complete element of surprise). They beat one decent (but with its own problems) opponent in France in 1940 mainly because France choose the absolute worst strategy to go up against the German strategy that was chosen. It looks impressive because of how long WWI took, but WWI took place using WWI technology. If the German army of 1914 had WWII era technology they would have steamrolled the French too. In fact that group was way better then the Nazi's it was just the wrong era.

This combined with the myth that the Nazi's saved Germany from the depression builds up the idea of these powerful people that just went a little wrong. And while I will assume a great deal of competence to the German soldiers on the ground the top levels of Nazi leadership were a joke.

I knew when I was teen an old german man who had been a SS- Oberfuhrer in the Waffen-SS,and yes the German troops where very competent,so was the generals it was when Hitler and the party started interfering in the running of the war that they started having reverses on the battlefield.
