Heil Hitler! /s

(Seriously, read Snyder's _Black Earth: the Holocaust as History and Warning_ for how Hitler saw the US as a role model.)

It's not difficult to imagine an alternate history in which the nazis did a little better and the allies a little worse, in which the end result was a ceasefire and peace - which would see the allies recognise the legitimacy of the nazi state, based on, exactly, it's possessions at the time of the ceasefire.

Come to think of it, possession by the red army was exactly how eastern Europe ended up vassals to USSR after WW2.

The USSR was as bad as the Nazis, if not worse. Arguably a stalemate on the eastern front would have been better than the actual results.
