Talking as we were Hitler had won the war.....
Hitler himself died sometime in the late 1950's of ill health although the exact cause of death was never have been released it was generally thought he had tertiary syphilis, which would explain why he been seen in public many years before years before his death. There are rumors that his whole body and face was disfigured by gummas towards the end and in the that his heart gave out in the end.
Today we don't live in fear although life was like that in the 1960 and 1970's as the legacy of Hitlers rule was held in place by the old order. However the older could hold on forever, and as old leadership died, a new order took over and with it the resistance to the regime subsided. The powers of the Gestapo started to be eroded in the the late 1970's and by the new order and by the mid 1980 they were disbanded and the remaining powers were given civil police. Although TV and Radio are still controlled by the empire, over the years the broadcasters have increasing been given more freedom and the people allowed more free thought and speech.
Back to the real world, where Hitler didn't win the war.....
The thing is every dictatorship comes to an end at some point, normally when the dictator dies. Although the people that helped support dictatorship live on for a while and would try and keep control they also would die off. In the end a new order would come and slowly freedoms would return. You only have to look at Cuba today to see this happening.
