They wouldn't have needed to take the rest. Once the home country and capital is lost, that's the end for that particular enemy. Look how the other European Empire nations like France and Holland capitulated in spite of having vast overseas territories, none of which were worth a damn once their homelands were lost.
I think if there Germans had defeated Russia and Britain, there would have been some sort of a peace deal with the USA which would have seen a partial pullout of Germans from the UK at least. Otherwise we could never have been able to invade Europe because Ireland would have been occupied in a couple of days and converted into a huge German UBoat and Naval base, the whole Mediterranean would have been closed off to us and we wouldn't have had anywhere to invade.
In those circumstances, Germany wouldn't have needed to go anywhere near the USA, they could have sat where they were and gave us the two-finger salute. At least until we got the a bomb, assuming of course they didn't get it before us.
