I think you misunderstood me... Obviously war was necessary, as Germany needed more natural resources and $. But Hitler hampered the war by making stupid decisions. The BoB for one was pointless, it accomplished nothing but killing Germany's best pilots. Sending more aid and troops to Africa would have been much more logical. Germany needed oil badly and the capture of the Middle East and Persia would have done that, and created a 2nd front for the USSR. Turkey could have also been forced into the axis powers if they were surrounded. They were already economic partners with Germany, and some Turks believed it would be wise to join the Axis powers but many feared Anglo-Soviet invasion.
