Article which mentions things like the Mausoleum For Hitler's Parents incident.

My nation borrows things from the books, Fatherland and SS-GB. The info below may be changed, some of it is similar or the same as Fatherland or SS-GB. I may change some parts.

-----------------
After 1946, the German Reich was victorious in World War II. In Russia, the Germans won by their offensive in the Caucasus. Stalin (who still lives, in the movie version of Fatherland, he is the leader of the New Soviet State) goes to the East and leads a guerilla war from there. Japan falls to atom bombs still from the USA.

Himmler was killed in a plane crash, though some say Heydrich (who survived his assassination) organized it to become Reichsfuhrer-SS. The European Community is established in the West. Winston Churchill and Elizabeth Windsor live in Canada. Edward and Wallis are Emperor and Empress of the British Empire. Switzerland is a neutral state. Italy is still led by Mussolini who is watched by the Germans.

Hitler still lives and celebrates his 75th birthday. Goebbles is still Minister of Propaganda. Goering is dead, not alive. Joseph P. Kennedy Sr. (not JFK as in Fatherland) was President of the US. An SS academy is placed in Oxford University. Lindbergh is USA's Ambassador to the German Reich, and Karl Donitz is Admiral of the Kriegsmarine.

The US put what in real life their European forces would be, in against Japan, Britain would fall to the Germans. The 1964 Olympic Games were held in Tokyo. The SS and Hitler Youth still exist. Society has advanced quite well. The White Rose Movement is still around. People protest sometimes the War in the Urals. Pacifism grows in German society and thanks to British and American influence, the Beatles for example can be heard.

Africa and Asia is still held by nations like Britain and France. Japan is growing from the Atomic Bombs. Germany and the US went into a Cold War for sometime. The V-3 Cannon was built and reportedly used at New York.

In London, one incident is the Night of the Buses when the Nazis in Britain blockaded streets. It (the incident) is based from SS-GB. In the article on this book on Wikipedia, it says:

''The German Army quickly works out that a checkpoint near Trafalgar Square would halt much of the traffic in Central London; singer Vera Lynn continues keeping up the people's morale, also under occupation, and her song "We'll Meet Again" becomes associated with the English people taken to forced labor in Germany; when the Nazis commandeer the London public transportation for a massive late-night campaign of arrests, Londoners remember it as "The Night of the Buses"; teachers and schoolkids, taken off to a concentration camp, keep up their spirits by singing "If you know that you're happy clap a hand"; black market operators traffic in stolen Luftwaffe petrol coupons. Similarly, in the real timeline they trafficked in RAF coupons.''

The German Reich did not like this and punished those who were involved, this was in later time. (Thinking on it)

The Germans are now led by Heydrich, Goebbles still Minister of Propaganda though his health may soon not be good, he still is ok.

The SS is now the Police Force of the Reich and the guerilla war in the Urals is still going on, Stalin still lives, outliving Hitler who is in a Mausoleum. Hitler's parents are in one as well, near Hitler's hometown (this is not from either book, it is said that in real lfie Hitler considered this).

The German Reich is still a formidable power. Mussolini is still living, ruling Italy. The Pope has been kept ok, the current one still helps in the Catholic Church.

Well, countries on NS are mostly divided into 3 tech levels
FT- Future Tech (Faster-than-light travel, space ships)
PT - Past Tech (Tech level varies from Ancient world to Imperial Age, mostly)

And then there's MT, which has a bunch of sub-levels
There's recent past (1940s-1980)
Modern (Any tech that's available/plausible today)
Near Future Tech (Any tech that'll be available in the next decade or so)
And Post Modern Tech (Up to the creation of FTL travel)

Thank you for this info. I think my nation would be modern, what we have today I guess, still thinking. Also, I heard of something called PMT, what is PMT?

As I said, it's Post Modern Tech. That has a lot of technology that's not going Mto be available for decades or centuries. Includes stuff like exo-skeletons and super-soldiers.
