Handwave its implausibility. Say the war resolves with Germany having not invaded Russia before knocking out Britain in a drawn-out airpower war and Hitler resolving to sacrifice Japan by refusing to declare war on America, taking pains to avoid giving Roosevelt a cause for war.

Petain rules a United France as a German client state. Franco replaces Tojo in the Axis. Britain cedes the Mediterranean to Italy in exchange for Axis noninterference with the overseas Empire. The Soviets are invaded by the full might of the Axis in 1943, but are prepared for it: a bloody stalemate exists in 1944.

How does America develop domestically from here out?

My proposal is that Hitler broadly follows the course laid out in Mein Kampf and less of the ideas put forward in the Second Book. He, at least initially, wanted an anti-Soviet alliance with England.

Assume he also (perhaps uncharacteristically) takes the long view with the United States. Even in the Second Book he didn't propose a trans-Atlantic war until the 1970s.

My aim here is to see whether an anti-fascist Cold War would have the same degree of intensity behind it as our anti-Communist one did historically.

Both, really. What does America look like in 1952? Is there still a sixties counterculture? Does it tilt to the Right?

Watch this:

Explain, please? While implausible, the basic idea came straight out of the novel Fatherland. Is that parodic, too? Or is this another of your famously uninformative one-liners?
