There's no evidence the Germans had designs on the territory of the U.S.Then why they designing intercontinental range ballistic missiles, meant to have nuclear warheads, and this before the US had even entered WWII. (see the book V-2 by Walter Dornberger, military commander of the Peenemunde rocket design facility, and Werner von Braun's boss).

Today, many European states are like pyramids stood on their heads. Their European area is absurbly small in comparison to the weight of colonies, foreign trade, etc. We may say: summit in Europe, base in the whole world; contrasting with the American Union which possesses its base in its own continent and touches the rest of the earth only with its summit. And from this comes the immense inner strength of this state and the weakness of most European colonial powers.

It is somewhat interesting; Hitler seemed to have a perverse admiration for America if you read his comments on us.

No ties of kinship can prevent a certain feeling of envious concern in England toward the growth of the American Union in all fields of international economic and power politics. The former colonial country, child of the great mother, seems to be growing into a new master of the world. It is understandable that England today re-examines her old alliances with anxious concern and British statesmen gaze with trepidation toward a period in which it will be no longer said; Britannia rules the waves! But instead: 'The seas for the Union!'
It is harder to attack the gigantic American colossus of states with the enormous wealth of its virgin soil than the wedged-in German Reich.

It is almost as if Hitler's idea regarding America is, "Oh, that I had the landmass and power she has. What I would do would pale in comparison to the things she has already accomplished!"
