The Germans would have a adapted as they did with the "Kriegsmodell" K98...towards the end of the war, made cheaper with no bayonet lug, cleaning rod, take down disk, etc. to cut costs and production time. But no less effective a weapon. Make extensive use of stampings, etc., and eliminate unnecessary frills....I once read that the Soviet PPsh machine pistol cost about $1.50 (US) a piece to produce and in some of the production runs, the select fire option was even eliminated.
Lucky for us (and the world) Hitler nearly ignored the most revolutionary weaponry of the 20th century, nuclear fission, which was discovered by German physicists Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann in Germany in the 30s. Although working on it somewhat half-heartedly....Hence the famous Einstein letter to FDR..
Had he emphasized the bomb, and was successful, just use your imagination
