I'd think they would avoid using SMGs like the Sten if ammunition is difficult to come by, the Mauser is more economical. Also, if the TL 3 opponents are armored, pistol caliber rounds might have difficulty doing enough damage. Another weapon to consider are flamethrowers, if the Nazis have a supply of hydrocarbons the ammo is easy to make, and they have a terror effect as well.

As far as maintaining an advanced civilization, there are many high tech advancements that do not require any raw materials to maintain. Much of TL 7 medicine would still be available. Many drugs might be difficult to manufacture, but knowledge of anatomy, surgical techniques, and the germ theory of disease require no real industrial base. Just knowing that it is important to keep operating rooms clean would be important. And I'd assume that the Antarctic Space Nazis would be masters of phrenology---their phrenology could easily be twice as accurate as it was in the 1940s. (Two times zero is still zero, right?)
