    The Nazis winning WWII is more of a nightmare alternate history dystopia than strictly "post-apocalyptic" where humanity/society has been almost totally destroyed and is just trying to survive in the aftermath.

    It sounds like On the Beach would fall in to the post nuclear fallout category, and The Last Man on Earth in to the Zombie category, so I think those are covered.

    I've never actually heard of On the Beach and I'm a big Gregory Peck fan, so I might have to see if I can stream that someplace. I have seen the original The Last Man on Earth with Vincent Price, which definitely fits the usual Vincent Price type of film. :-)

    Just another Perl hooker - My clients appreciate that I keep my code clean but my comments dirty.

      Well ... if Nazis won we'd have Hitler dead and his "personality cult" denounced by 1950 followed by softening the regime, a temporary tightening of screws in 60s and Umstrukturierung near the end of 80s followed by fall and dissolution of the Reich. Little would be known about the long cleaned up concentration camps.

      1984 was supposed to be a warning,
      not a manual!
