The whole idea's pretty unworkable. He would have had absurdly long supply lines. You only have to look at the troubles he had in Russia to know how bad that can be.

You know, this makes me remember an article in one of the Sunday newspaper magazines from my childhood. This would have been in the mid-50's or so, because I read it myself, and the illustrations impressed me.

Apparently (going on my memory here so please bear with me) there was some sort of invasion plan cooked up by Hitler and the Japanese. They had a plan to divide the occupation of the US at the Rocky Mountains..everyething west of the Rockies would be administered by the Japanese, everything east would be run by the Germans.

Of course, in the mid-50's the memory of the war was still recent, so there were still articles focussing on how dangerous Hitler was, and perhaps this was a fantasy or an exagerration. However, as a child, let me tell you that the map they showed left a HUGE impression on me, if I could remember it all these years later.
