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.

Let’s be reasonable here...we are talking 1948, at the earliest to invade the US, but the INVASION would have to take place, in order to end the war (for the Axis to be victorious). Does anyone REALLY believe that Germany and Japan would have been happy with just the Eastern Hemisphere?
