Let's be honest though, that would have happened maybe 5 years after Europe was conquested, simply due to the logistics of getting enough bodies in place to make a serious effort.
There is no way in my mind that the German's could realistically have taken North America. Yes I did it in Civilization 2, but that doesn't really count now does it.

The german forces were completely depleted towards the end of WWII, even if they held the russians at bay (not likely, Russia was going to be in the winners circle one way or another). It would be decades before the germans would be able to seriously consider assaulting NA, by then, it would be difficult to convince his people to start another war, the economic conditions that catalyzed the war would be long gone and the citizens of the reich would be at peace.
Hitler wasn't even interested in conquering the UK, he had a lot of respect for the english and, in the long term, hoped to establish good relations between them and the Reich. I imagine he would take a similar attitude with NA.
E: as a scottish canadian (6 generations) my family and people are part of a storied history of whupping nazi ass, sounds like fun.
