Namibia is mostly desert, it was a money sink even compared to Germany's other colonies, and outside of high altitude territory Africa really isn't the most healthy place for whites.
Invasion from Italian East Africa after Britain is defeated. Not all the wars have to be fought during World War 2. My plan for Germany's African Empire is for Britain and France to be fully defeated and then Germany launches a bunch of invasions into their colonies.How would Germany be able to get to East Africa?
This stops being the case sometime around the 60s in OTL, when medicine, hygiene and air conditioning make most of Africa able to be settled by whites. It's why the Portuguese managed to have a significant white minority in Angola and Mozambique.Namibia is mostly desert, it was a money sink even compared to Germany's other colonies, and outside of high altitude territory Africa really isn't the most healthy place for whites.
How does Italy launch this invasion? The Italians were being hampered by the constant guerrilla warfare from the Ethiopian Patriots who are receiving support from the Allies now that the Anglo-French alliance is fighting with the Ethiopians - not to mention, Italian East Africa is isolated from the Italian mainland.Invasion from Italian East Africa after Britain is defeated.

This happens after the Axis win. Britain and France are defeated. Italy has secured control over Sudan and Egypt (TTL Italy is far more competent). The Germans are the ones invading East Africa, the Italians just allowed them to launch the invasion from their colonies.How does Italy launch this invasion?

If Latin states are viable alternatives, what is the minimum amount of territory Germany needs to take to be a superpower?If you are looking for usable "Lebensbraum" with the agricultural and industrial resources, and the best communications with Germany and infrastructure to extract resources and settle Germans up to the standards to which they are accustomed, making "Latins" racially expendable could be the way to go, making most of the new Lebensbraum out of France, Wallonia and Italy. Possibly start by directly annexing the occupied zone of France and Wallonia, and making Vichy a "reservation" for ethnic Frenchmen, annexing, occupying and settling northern Italy with Naples and points south as the "reservation" for ethnic Italians.
For additional territorial expansion, Netherlands, the Nordic states, Protectorate of Bohemia can be annexed and Germans could dominate politically even if they encourage ethnic mixing.
