Let's say the Nazis win WW2 somehow. Hitler keeps Fuhrering until around the mid-60's, when he suffers a natural death. He's then succeeded by Bormann or Goering or Himmler or any of the rest of the inner circle, probably after some power struggle and after whoever comes on top has to make quite a few succession. But after a decade or two the second Fuhrer dies as well. My question is - what happens then? Do you think Nazi Germany can keep functioning as a state just as before, or will it collapse or somehow radically change? By this point, almost anyone who was prominent during the war is dead, meaning the Nazis have to foster a new generation for leadership, but personally the Nazi regime never seemed to me like a regime that can do that kind of thing. I think more likely is for a gerontocracy to develop a la many Eastern Bloc countries, with an antiquated, completely non-dynamic bureaucracy stifling any progress, eventually forcing the country to change the hard way. Also, there's probably no one with the necessary prestige to establish a position for themselves, seeing as how long has passed since the war.
