Germany's technology at the end of the war was FAR superior to the Allies-and they would have shared with Japan. Who knows what Germany would have by now if left to their devices.

How would they get to our coasts with 40's technology?
What timeframe are we talking about? In the short term, if we had today's tech and they had 40's tech they wouldn't ever get close. There was absolutely no weapon in their arsenal at the time that could get them to our shores against modern tech.
A battlegroup like attacked Pearl Harbor would be destroyed in a matter of minutes. A slow, prop bomber run wouldn't make it off the ground. Factories, headquarters, etc could be hit from hundreds of miles away with something like a TLAM. Their command and control would be non-existant. Their Navy would be destroyed by our subs and surface fleets before they even fired a shot. The mighty Tiger tanks would be target practice, they would have zero chance of transporting food, ammo, etc to their ground troops due to the overwhelming air superiority we would have....
The list goes on and on.
