People underestimate how powerful the German war machine was.
Actually they were a lot of smoke and mirrors. They didn't have the resources for a sustained war and they knew it. They needed a quick victory and they didn't get it. Hence the blitzkrieg. Hence the attempt to beat Britain and Russia before they really got into the war.
It was all or nothing and they got nothing.

The thing is Germany didn't try to beat Britain.
They tried to terrorize them into submission by bomb raiding the cities (London) rather than strategically bombing their air fields.
Hitler was no match for Churchill when it came to determination, however, and Winston would not allow himself nor his country to backdown.
Another strategic blunder on hitler's part

I don't know if the German resources were ever good enough without conquest, but it makes it seem the biggest blunder was starting the war too soon.
