It is hard to believe that America would have benefited in ANY way from a German victory.

Would the Soviet Union even have existed if the Germans had won?

Why is it hard to believe? Germany was one of our largest trading partners before the war. We had a huge German population and had always had a peaceful relationship with Germany. If Germany had not lost the war there would have been no Hitler and no Soviet Union. If the US had not joined the war Britain and France would have been forced to enter into a negotiated peace, probably as early as 1916. Five or six million men would have lived, including a million British. Perhaps the British Empire would not have collapsed leaving dozens of tin pot dictators behind. All of the current problems in the Middle East stem from the victors scramble for loot at the end of WWI - even Osama Bin Laden says so. It's easy for me to see how the US could have benefited from a different outcome to that war.

If America had stayed out of the war there wouldn't have been a German victory. There would have been a stalemate and a negotiated settlement that didn't include a destructive "peace" leading to the rise of Hitler.
