The only chance he had, while still taking Poland, was to not meaningfully attack France, Netherlands, or Britain. Make it clear he was willing to settle with them. None of those countries were thrilled to be in a war, that would have been the end of it with a new map of Europe.
The West didn’t care about the Holocaust and felt more threatened by Russia. The war in the Pacific would have still happened of course. And there’s a fair chance the West would have teamed up with Hitler to fight Russia.
Anything beyond Poland was just a bridge too far.

Firebombing multiple German cities was fine?
You need to educate away your ignorance.
Yeah because people still talk about the firebombing of Tokyo outside of “well actually” comments
Yerr bu durr-be derp pbbbbt
I was not talking about Tokyo, I was talking about German cities that were firebombed.
Yeah no shit you didn’t bring up Tokyo; I did. What an amazing observation!
You’re pretty slow witted for someone who was just acting hyper aggressive insulting people’s intelligence.
You’re embarassing yourself. Pull up your pants and go.

Saying someone is ignorant is not calling them stupid.
Someone who does not understand that difference, while having access to a dictionary on the other hand…
thank god the most pedantic idiot alive showed up
Time was a real factor, Germany was on the verge of nuclear technology too. Many lives were spared because Hitler over extended himself. By the time the Allies were at Berlin they were on a campaign of submission.
