The only way Germany could have won was to have not declared war on the US. Once Hitler did that the Reich was doomed, especially since he had yet to defeat the Brits or the Soviets. Even had they done so, Germany could not have launched an invasion against the Western Hemisphere. It was no more capable of doing it than the USSR was at the height of its strength. Such an invasion would've required an initial fleet at least 50 times the size of the one used on D Day, and those troops would've needed to be in constant resupply with lines of ships stretching across the Atlantic. An impossible task.
As for Japan, it had no chance at all. They were totally outclassed by the US. Japan's industrial capacity was less than 10% that of the US, and as a small island nation was totally incapable of surviving a war against us.
Instead of only reading books because you like the auther's last name. Try some real history.
