That never happened.
"After the conquest of Poland, and the division of the spoils with Russia, Hitler made a bid for peace with the Western Powers. When he was rebuffed he began to feel afraid of what he had started-- and of his temporary partner [Russia]. He expressed the view that a long drawn-out war of attrition with Britain and France would gradually exhaust Germany's limited resources, and expose her to a fatal attack from behind by Russia. "By no treaty or pact can Russia's lasting neutrality be ensured," he told his generals. His fear urged him to force peace on France by an offensive in the West. He hoped that if the French were defeated, the British would see reason and come to terms. He reckoned that time was working against him on every count.
Hitler did not dare to risk playing a waiting game, to see whether the French grew tired of war. He believed that for the moment he had the strength and equipment to beat France. "In certain arms, the decisive arms, Germany today possesses clear, indisputable superiority of weapons." Hitler felt that he must strike as soon as possible, before it was too late. His order was: "The attack is to be launched, if conditiom an at all possible, this autumn."
Hitler's reckoning, and these instructions were set out in a long memorandum of October 9th, 1939. His analysis of the military factors in the situation was masterly, but he left out of account a vital political factor—the "bulldoggedness" of the British people when aroused.
His generals shared his long-term fears, but did not share his short-term confidence. They did not think that the German Army was strong enough to beat France. All the top ones to whom I talked, including Rundstedt and his chief planner, Blumentritt, admitted that they were full of doubt about taking the offensive in the West. As Blumentritt remarked: "Hitler alone believed that a decisive victory was possible."
General Siewert, who had been Brauchitsch's personal assistant from 1939 to 1941, said that no plan for an offensive in the West had even been considered until after the Polish campaign, and that Brauchitsch was dismayed when, early in October, he received Hitler's directive to prepare such a plan.
"Field-Marshal von Brauchitsch was dead against it. All the documents relating to this plan will be available in the archives wherever they are, and they will show that he advised the Fiihrer against invading the West."

Hitler had no plans for world conquest. That is nonsense.
Walt
Uh, Walt. There was a little thing that happened a few decades back called World War II. It had to do with Hitler expanding to unite the Germanic people and to take over the world. Ever heard of it? (me)
That never happened. (walt)
Congratulations Walt. You've finally crossed the line over into total insanity and conspiracy kookdom. Add World War II to the ever growing list of historical events that Walt pretends "never happened" on the grounds that admitted they did would also be to admit that either himself or The Lincoln had been in error.
His actions definately moved in that direction and his political philosophy of National Socialism led toward that as its Hegelian end. Not that little facts like those get in your way of denying the major events of history, Walt.
"Hitler had no plans for world conquest. That is nonsense."
"Well, it's not much of a stretch from supporting the tyrant Lincoln to supporting Hitler, but I never thought you'd admit it so readily."
