While i like the Spitfire, and am thankful for the Allies to have stopped this dictator, who knows what would have happened in another time line.
Hitler did NOT want to conquer the world, or even England for that matter. He wanted a big part of Russia, right from the beginning.
For all the reasons there may have been, England declared war to Germany, not the other way round. Hitler then failed in forcing England to a truce, and it backfired.

And it was foremost the Hurricane and its pilots who stopped the geman bombers, at that time there were not so many Spitfires around.
