Yeah, Germany wanted to win. But they were trying to defeat America via a defensive war; like the Confederacy during the War Between the States. Meaning winning a war without taking over so much as one inch of your opponents land.

I’m pretty sure they knew they wouldn’t be able to actually invade this country.

“I’m pretty sure they knew they wouldn’t be able to actually invade this country.”

Sorry, but you’re clueless as to interdependence. Between Japan and Germany, they would have simply choked us until we invited them in (due to starvation). You are right, they would not have had to invade use, rather they would have strangled us.

Unfortunately this is a VERY difficult concept for Libertarians to understand.

Shortly after the war started, there was concern that Germany might be planning an invasion of the Southern United States via North Africa. My grandfather's unit was stationed at Camp Blanding, Florida (just outside Jacksonville) in case there was such an invasion.

After the war, it was learned that the Germans had actually considered this, but had rejected the idea in favor of a naval blockade.
