    I don’t think they wanted to do that. I believe the plan was to pressure the UK to make deal and once that was done they’d be free to attack USSR

      My understanding is that Hitler always imagined that the UK would be an ally of his: Germany would be the superpower on the European continent, the UK would have its overseas empire.

          Also, how are you supposed to keep control of an overseas empire without a strong seat of power? Even after winning the war the Brits still lost it.

            Doesn’t seem to have all that popular, especially long term

      Hitler was actually an admirer of the British and initially sought an alliance or other non-hostile arrangement. Only when that didn’t work he went to war with them
