Without US involvement in WW2 on the other hand I think it's a tossup as to whether nazi Germany would have won. No US involvement means no fuel and supplies going to the British or the Russians. Do either stay afloat long enough for the US to be forced into it by Japan without it? The Brits maybe, they still had their navy and overseas possessions but the Russians probably not (IMO). The Germans would never have stalled before the gates of Moscow without US planes, tanks, fuel and ammo.

 ...the war for Germany was over strategically after Jutland. Germany would become the blockaidee and not the blockader. Whatever happened on land(strictly tactical in terms of entrenched cannon-fodder) might have gone on a tad longer longer but with the same result. The result is the same: civilization will end in 2040.
