Hitler's intentions were strictly continental.

I'll ask you again, Walt. Is Africa part of the European continent? Yes or no.

Africa is not part of Europe. Hitler only sent troops to Africa in order to buck up the Italians. He had no grand plan for world conquest. As General Fuller said -- his plans were strictly continental.

German submarines also sailed into the Pacific and Indian oceans. This is no more evidence that Hitler planned on world conquest than the fact of the Afrika Corps is.

Yet Africa was well outside the continent of Europe. Hitler went to Africa, hence your statement is inconsistent.
