Is there any way he could have won everything? Like had his Lebensraum, got away with the Holocaust, installed Nazi-friendly parties in UK and the US, created a real thousand year reich etc?
I’m not a supporter of him btw I’m just curious.

Only if he started developing nukes as early as 1933

Only if the USSR had tried to invade all of Europe in the 30’s.

Gayolf Shitler was a British spy

There are plenty of choices Hitler could have made to improve his chances, that historians have been bickering over for decades:

>Spend the 1930s building up the fleet of 300 new submarines that Dönitz said he needed, instead of the handful large prestige ships that he ended up building
>Keep bombing RAF hangars and heavy industry in Britain in '40-41 instead of pivoting to the strategically ineffective Blitz
>Keep Mussolini on a tighter leash to avoid getting entangled in Greece and North Africa so you can focus on hitting Russia hard
>End the siege of Leningrad with decisive force instead of having an entire army surround the city for years on end
>Go for Moscow and break the Soviet Union's administrative and logistics back in 1941/1942 instead of pivoting south into the endless plains
>Engage in the political and economic side of total war much earlier, instead of waiting until after the defeat at Stalingrad
Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

That said, I think World War II was a typical modern nation-state war, in the same vein as the American Civil War, the Franco-Prussian War, World War I and the current Russo-Ukrainian War. Modern nation-state wars are ALWAYS decided entirely by total industrial throughput. Since the Germans could never hope to match both the US and the USSR industrially, they never stood a chance, so all of those decisions would likely only have prolonged and worsened the war.

No. Those goals are just too ambitious and unrealistic

Only if god himself descended from the heavens and gave him a magic gun that instantly atomized all his enemies and made the rest obey him unconditionally

Why the 30s specifically?
