If Germany had carried out an invasion of Britian in 1941 and was successful they would have entered into some type of non-aggression pact with the US while they focused their attentions on the Eastern Front. Once Hitler had control of the European continent he would have consolidated his power and then turned towards the former Africian colonies for their raw materials. Remember prior to Pearl Harbor there was not strong support among the US people for the US to involve itself in what was seen as Europe's problem. At some point down the line you would have to see conflict between Germany and Japan as Japan's need for raw materials would have eventually drawn itself into conflict with Germany.
There was an interesting mystery novel by Robert Harris called Fatherland where he sets the plot in the 1960s in Germany which was successful during the war.
