Hitler would have worked with the British, there is no shortage of evidence that points to this. Not only were they a Germanic power but a superpower. Nazis were happy to see the Brits be overlords of distant non-Germanic realms.
>Hitler In 1937 he told the British Foreign Secretary Lord Halifax that the British should "shoot Gandhi, and if this doesn't suffice to reduce them to submission, shoot a dozen leading members of the Congress, and if that doesn't suffice shoot 200, and so on, as you make it clear that you mean business."
The fear was however, that the Germans sort to usurp Britain's fragile position of international dominance and while that anxiety was well founded, had Churchill known what FDR had in plan for his beloved Empire he may well have come to an arrangement with the third Reich.

You mean like how he worked with them at Munich?

Get off the toilet and do your job Scruffy.

I didn't say or so much as imply that Nazis were trustworthy or that they weren't expansionist.
I would however ascribe more nuance to them than has been allotted by this caricature boogeyman role they plays in history.
It is odd that both Britain and France were apparently willing to sacrifice good relations with (and the safety of) poland for the sake of relations with the Soviets, but not with the Nazis.
Any enmity Hitler and Churchill had for one another was at-least comparable to how much they both loathed the USSR and the more general threat of communism.

'The Lives of the Bengal Lancers' was Hitler's favorite film, in Mein Kampf he praises the empire, "What India was for England, the territories of Russia will be for us. " he says one month after operation Barbarossa.
Other ruminations on the jewel in the crown make it plain that Hitler thought a strong Imperial Britain had it's place in the world (in stark contrast to the sentiments of the USSR and USA)
>However miserably the inhabitants of India may live under the British they will certainly be no better off if the British go . . . If we took India, the Indians would certainly not be enthusiastic and they’d not be slow to regret the good old days of English rule.
>I, as a man of Germanic blood, would, in spite of everything, rather see India under English rule than under any other

There is little reason to suspect these powers could not work together, especially in an era of such unlikely alliances.

Read the speech he gave to the Reichstag on April 28th 1939, it's too long to post here but well worth a read.

Stalin was a swarm of snakes, Hitler was a vicious lion, actively expanding, disregarding all diplomatic channels, it's telling that in the post war settlement proxy war, instead of outright warfare became the main theaters of conflict.

Neville Chamberlain was prime minister when the second world war was declared, Churchill was in no posititon to declare war.

And if you're going to make the claim that neville fucking chamberlain was a warmonger i implore you to look at the events that lef up to the second world war.

Why did chamberlain declare war on Germany?
