What would you figure was the latest possible date human feet would have been on Mars had Germany won WW-II? My own guess would be around 85 - 90, i.e. the point at which the 68030 was available and you had the compute power for it.

I don't think so. If they'd won, they'd have had no need to prove how great the Aryan Supermen were. Only the "race" between the US and USSR was able to free up enough $$ to conduct the moon missions. The same would have been true of post Hitler Marks.

I agree. Hitler’s interest in rocketry was purely military. Without the need for military hardware, von Braun would have been another penniless dreamer.
