It makes more sense, if you consider that the Nazis did not really wanted to fight the british in the first place, but would have rather fought with them agains

It makes more sense, if you consider that the Nazis did not really wanted to fight the british in the first place, but would have rather fought with them against the communist hordes in the east and the jews in general. Racism in the british empire was pretty established at that time, so it was not an outlandish goal. Hitler was fine with the british empire oversea (white rule) while he ruled the continent.. But luckily the Nazis were really bad at diplomacy.
