The record shows that Hitler's goals were strictly continental.

I suppose then that Hitler fought a big battle in that famous European place called El Alamein?

That wouldn't show an attempt at global conquest. The Brits were pretty much terrified that the Germans would make for the middle east oil. They didn't.

Hitler had no interest at all in Africa; he only deployed a small force there to bail out the Italians. Hitler at this time, as I recall, had 165 divisions in Russia, and three in Africa.
