conquest of the world

The Germans never had "conquest of the world" as a war aim. The goal was to conquer the food-producing areas of the Soviet Union, so that Germany could not be starved out like it was in WWI.

It was war propaganda that the Germans wanted to take over the world. I remember watching a newsreel that had the Germans jumping from Algeria over the Atlantic into the Caribbean and then Washington DC - laughable. But that's what they did to scare the shit out of Americans so they'd volunteer to fight in the war.
