How do you think the world would be different if the Germans won WW2?

One for all you history geeks and conspiracy nuts on here.
Possibly a controversial subject, but potentially very interesting as well.
Discuss.

The European Commission
The European Commission has announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the EU, rather than German, which was the other contender. Her Majesty's Government conceded that English spelling had room for improvement and has therefore accepted a five-year phasing in of "Euro-English".
In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make sivil servants jump for joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of the "k", Which should klear up some konfusion and allow one key less on keyboards.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f", making words like "fotograf" 20% shorter.
In the third year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of the silent "e" is disgrasful.
By the fourth yer, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v".
During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and similar changes vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters. After zis fifz yer, ve vil hav a reli sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubls or difikultis and everivun vil find it ezi to understand ech ozer. ZE DREM VIL FINALI COM TRU!

I've not read it but Fatherland by Robert Harris is a version of what may have happened if the Krauts had won WW2.

VW wouldn't be getting it in the neck over emissions.
Vettel would be widely accepted as the best F1 driver
Thomas Hitzelspurger wouldn't have come out
Das Boot wouldn't have been made
Private Ryan would have died

Anyone actually know what the Nazi party's plans were on things like health and taxes and education were?
Would Hitler have been in favour of something like the NHS?
I know I could just go on wikipedia for this info but some of you lot have a much better way of explaining things sometimes.

I remember the biggest police dog I ever saw in my life was at a German service station.
The thing was as big as a horse.

I think generally things would be a lot more betterer.
We certainly wouldn't be giving Europe away to Islam anyway.

Things would have been better with a regime that gassed it's own people to death and slaughtered millions because they weren't the 'correct' race?
Hmmm, I'm not sure I'm convinced.
