It was inevitable - both, Hitler and Stalin, started to prepare for an invasion of the others country the day they signed the non-aggression pact...
They were just too much alike to ignore one another, or even live together as neighbours...

Because they lost their source of heavy water - in this timeline they never loose it so it is possible. Unrealistic though is the close race - the Nazi's were months ahead of the US in both theoretical and practical R&D (the Germans had worked out the mechanical side and delivery method already). And with the war in Europe being over the German treason of some notable scientists that gave the Ami's their break would not occur either, so maybe it is the US that comes to a dead end...
Later submarines (Type 26 or higher, can't remember exactly) were planned as launch bases for attacks on the US coast (I wish I could remember which site I found it on, it had plans for the boots and specs, etc)...
