Imagine having to listen to only that for a several hours long road trip within Germany, if I was that fella I would’ve been tempted to intentionally crash the car almost lol.
On another note, I know this is basically like having a bandaid put on a detached severed arm but I guess at least the French would have their Edith Piafs and Charles Trenets, the Italians their Pavarotti and the Greeks their Maria Callas.

The Nazis were gone before Rock as we know it would really form in the 50s but suffice to say they would’ve definitely positively loathed it.
Well, the UK is still out there, so perhaps the Beatles could still popped around in this TL. I have no doubt that the Nazis under Goebbels will have an even more negative reaction to them than even the Soviet Union IOTL.

Now I’m getting the image of Goebbels wanting to form together a government created and sponsored German equivalent to the Beatles out of pure childish jealousy lol. Honestly, wouldn’t be so shocked if the Nazis ever try that in the future.
Tempted? After the 156th dun-dun-dun-duuun ba ba ba ba, bumbumbumbum I'd be seeing how fast this Volkswagen goes
They considered both jazz and blues "negro music" if Im not mistaken
So in their view this kind of thing would represent racial degradation and a cultural taint that they ought to purge, as well as seeing its rebelliousness and teenage vibe as inherently degenerated and lesa patria
Honestly in character
Nazis were never above hipocrisy and while Hitler would be spinning on his grave Goebbels certainly would see the propagandistic advantage of that
At least once he's done destroying everything good with the Angriff

One more thing I’d like to ask wonder before I go away again: how do you guys think relations between German-Americans and Jewish, Slavic, French, Dutch, Belgian, Scandinavian and Swiss Americans are like? I can see it being probably more very frosty and stuff, not like near riots level between them but definitely not really good either…
Current progress:
French Africa/Congo (2.5 thousand words)
South Africa (2.8 thousand words)
French Africa/Congo (2.5 thousand words)
South Africa (2.8 thousand words)

Are both going to be covered in one chapter or separately again? If the latter, then go with South Africa first since you’ve got more progress with that.

German-Americans are probably assimilating as much as possible to avoid being accused of dumb shit by idiots, but I could see cultural organizations (like a non-evil German Amerika Bund but for like Oktoberfest organizers and stuff lol) to maintain a German identity that isn't automatically stereotyped to Maoist Nazis lol
I doubt many Americans of German descent support the Nazis. Most German immigrants to the U.S. arrived in the 19th Century, which means that their families will have been in the U.S. for three or more generations and will have intermarried with other European groups to a large extent. Any Germans that immigrate to the U.S. during the scope of this TL do so to escape the Nazi regime. As @Pax_Nihil said, most German descendants in the U.S. (and other countries like Canada and Australia) would distance themselves from the Nazis as much as possible
Goebbels has no interest in going further against Christianity now that he pacified the Catholic Church (at least in name) and he himself was raised a Catholic, he won't push for some odd neo paganism.
Living in Israel, she likely fought in the Suez War and the 12-day war too. She won't become a Prime Minister or anything, but at least she isn't going to be a vulnerable teenager at the hands of Nazis.
Will be covered in the chapter about the Nazi Revolution.
Depends on who's the Führer, under Hitler and Hess you just have classical music playing 24/7 until the Germans were driven so mad they were willing to go through a nuclear war just to put an end to their misery. Hitler, because he loved classics, and Hess is because under him Germany was in a collective state of denial over Hitler dying.
So long as we have Pavarotti, I can bear Fascism. But if Farinacci goes against Italian music then you might aswell ban pasta.
It will be covered, but Goebbels understands far better than Hitler and Hess did that you need to provide good entertainment to the people. Of course, they won't call it Rock and will still call it a degenerate style, but there will be a "Volkish Rock" of sorts.
Depends how much has to be written, the two chapters can, in theory, be merged together due to the similar style.
"Hamburger? You mean Freedom Steaks, right? Nein, no German here, we are all pure race Amerikaners! All pure Germanic Anglo-Saxon blood! Heil H- I mean, Hail to the Chief!"

Although it’s good thing that Pavarotti may be unharmed, it’s also made me think of a cursed possibility of him performing for Italian troops while they may commit horrible crimes against humanity in Ethiopia, not that the poor guy would have any say in it of course.
Holy shit, early Nazi Rammstein confirmed?!?11🤯🤯
Well good, some people have to make sure that the German diaspora aren’t tainted by what crazy moustache man did and his equally insane fanboys are up to lol
Obviously German Americans don’t support the Nazis, my point was just that there still might be some awkward tension between them and the other non-WASP American communities that I mentioned. Is it rational? No, but it’s human nature to not be rational first.
