After many millions were slaughtered for lack of support of the Third Reich, there would have been a long period of deprivation of rights, and continued persecution of Jews and Christian believers. All resistance would have been squashed, and most intellectuals put to death because their thoughts would be a threat. After a while, the people would rebel and overthrow the Nazis, but much bloodshed and agony would have preceded any successful effort. As witnessed by the French Revolution, the masses will be held down for only so long before they erupt in rebellion and overthrow tyranny.

I like these speculative questions. There's a really good sci-fi writer, Harry Turtledove, who does alot of books on the topic - you may want ot try him out.
My thoughts. If the Germans had won the WW2, I think that the world would look hugely different. For one, Germany would be much larger, and many of its WW2 goals would have succeeded e.g. extermination of Jews/Gypsies/Homosexuals. Moreover, by virtue of its strength, Japan would also be a much greater power in Asia having rule in China/Korea/Singapore/the Philappines and possibly Australia. Japanese culture, racial superiority, and politics would rule most of that sphere. In the US, a small government would operate under the auspices of the German government but would probaly be mostly independent since its heavily industrialized and wealthy inhabitants would be mostly business partners with German corporations.
I think that many who speculate on this topic aren't able to get through Germany's "evil" motives during WW2 and will liekly say that the world of today would be facist and totalitarian etc. I say however that eventually, German's facist and totalitarian regime would collapse under its own hubris - and another revolution would take place in whcih power would be decentralized and then recentralized into another form - the format of which I am uncertain without further research. Perhaps another nation that was relatively untouched by war would have taken over Hitler's government? (notice I've sidelined Mussolini and Italy... reason being that in my experience, Mussolini was much more impractical than Hitler in his rule/intentions).
Moving on, I don't think that the world would be as militarized as it is today if Germany had won. Why? Well, for one - the Cold War would never have happened - Russia would be a masive German colony that mainly supports Germany's agriculture and would exist as a slave state. The world would ACTUALLY probably more of a stable state. That's proabbly not kosher to say... but I think it's the truth.

I like these "What If" questions - although they are ultimately pointless, it does exercise the old noggin.
If Germany had won WW2 then we could assume that, because of the Tripartite Pact, Japan would also have conquered the Pacific region.
Although Japan had a peace agreement with Russia, Germany would still have wanted to go east to capture the oil and gas resources and Japan may have decided to continue its expansionist policies by squeezing Russia from the east.
Politically, none of the communist states would have existed, Russia would be occupied territory and there would be a vast Eurasian Empire controlled in the west by Germany, in the south by Italy and the east by Japan.
The influence of the USA would be markedly less in this world and, as the majority of the technological advances would have remained in European hands (eg. von Braun, jet propulsion, nuclear capability) there would be enough military capability to maintain a cold war against the USA or maybe even to dominate them.
The Holocaust would have run its course, there would be no modern state of Israel which, conversely, may have actually led to peace in the Middle East.
As political extremism softened and became more tolerant, fascism would have lead to a more left wing style of government. The Eurasian Empire would have become a massive economy with the technology, the natural resources and the labour to become the major power in the world.

Depends on what you mean by "won", as I think even if the Nazis had conquered all of Europe they wouldn't have been satisfied with that and would have tried to invade more and more countries and they certainly would have been stopped somewhen, at least if they had tried to conquer the USA. But they were far from that, they were never able to attack American territory. If they had conquered the USSR and had ruled Europe for a longer time they would have killed many more millions of people esp. the remaining European Jews and would have continued to rule by terror as they did, they would have enslaved the entire population of East Europe and many Germans would have settled there. Maybe after killing all European Jews they would have set the goal to kill all Poles or all Russians. They would have tried to conquer America but I don't think they would have ever been able to do so. If they had conquered America, they would have tried to kill all the Jews there and would have ruled with the same terror like in Europe.
Life would be like it was at that time in the territories occupied by Nazi Germany. Read about it and you know.

For Europeans life would be very restrictive, there would be little association with countries whose people where classified as non- aryan,but worse for the jews, gypsies,homosexuals and other undisireables,they would eventually have been hunted down and murdered. The nazis didn't believe in half measures, all or nothing was the unspoken policy,but it is not possible to determine if the nazis wanted total global domination,the nazis were both ruthless and efficent
in achieveing their goals. The nazis weren't dreamers, i think they're would have been an end in sight for what they would be satisfied with,but with nuclear technology and they possibility of eliminating all their enimies maybe they would not have been able to resist the chance.I don't believe the nazis were what they have been made out to be today.

They didn't. The British and Americans did. Don't rewrite history. Even if they had, do you think the world would have put up with Hitler as a leader for too long. Look to Iraq to see how tyrants end up. Even if Germany had won, the chances of the World being led by Hitler is mighty slim.

This is entriely too complicated to answer here in detail. let it suffice to say that it would be terrifically unpleasant if you were;
Jewish, Gypsy, Catholic, Homosexual, Outspoken of government policy, not Aryan.
With the Nazis though people were doomed because whatever the "flavor of the day" was in the heirarchy was what established policy on a final solution to "The Problem"

To start off with, German would be the predominant language of a rebuilt New York City, which would still have a lot of residual radioactivity.
