Only if mankind could them a chance, but no one would allow that. Instead of giving up to them without a fight they decide to star war. Germany was and still is the most innovative country in the world.

Ah, but they had a method of delievery to space: The V2. In theory it could deliever half a ton into orbit. Here is a link to a videoclip with a V2 filming the earth: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emMIM3CKGtQ

On a more realistic note, Hitler should probably have used the resources on more appliable and already proven technology. Winter uniforms for the soldiers, for example.
