They should have been churning these out day and night instead of so called wonder weapons

Guderian was pushing for that. He wanted more Pz Mk IV and V. Hitler fortunately felt otherwise.

I wonder how many StuG III are still in existence?

WVB and Co. don't escape to the US/USSR. That means we would see the NAZI flag on the moon in the mid 60s instead of America's on 1969. With their rocket technology, the Germans nuke the allied Soviets with ICBMs. The Germans needed Ukraine's resources so I suspect the final lines would run from Kviv in the south to St Petersburg in the north. Germany would be an even greater superpower than the Soviets IOTL.

Assuming Japan still surrenders as IOTL... No Vietnam war with France colonies still under German control. South Korea gets quickly overrun without the UN. (How many of us would exist if our parents/grandparents had suitors who never died in either place?)

I don't think we would be all that much different in the US if the British Isles stay independent (Hitler would likely agree to it if they surrendered their commonwealth countries). Of course that opens up the possibility of pro-Germany governments in Canada/Mexico and Australia in the Pacific. Worst case, the US has to trade Alaska for peace.

The Allies winning WWII made the world safe for communism.

Yep. Bit more interesting than the usual WW II revisionists conversations/shows.

There’s probably a lot more mechanized artillery pieces there. They should find them without too much effort I hope.

Some of them are reproductions based on other armored vehicle chassis. A couple of them in the Band of Brothers series were built on the chassis of a British fv-432 armored personnel carrier they look almost identical but you can tell because the road wheels are different.

Exactly, no WWII, you don't have a strengthened Russia - no cold war and spread of Communism. No Korea or Vietnam. Likely none of the ME shite of the past 20years.

The change would be monumental on how today would look.
