To be fair, if Germany would have won, the jews might not have had to be exterminated. After years of trying to reform them he either succeeded (which we know is impossible) or they'd realize the futility of that attempt. Either way, the jews would have remained contained and isolated from the levers of power, and over time Germany would have gained a voice on the world stage to the detriment of the jews.

I am not sure if Hitler actually did mistakes - he navigated himself pretty well given the circumstances. The wars were inevitable, they tried to force Germany to declare war against Poland (and thus Britain and France) in 1938. The assault from the Soviet Union was predicted to occur in 3 weeks, which forced Germany to either have them come to you, well prepared, with much better odds, or surprise attack them for maximum efficiency (which was the case).

Germany however had large amounts of Sarin, and at least could have threatened to use it against either side to keep it from attacking, so that Germany could focus either on the East or the West. I think that's the key. If I'd be able to go back in time, that's where I'd have changed the course of strategic actions. Including threatening Britain to bomb the shit out of them with Sarin bombs unless they agree to a ceasefire. And warning Hitler of Pearl Harbor and the alliance with Japan, so that the US would have a harder time entering the war against Germany. I'd also lose some words about the nuclear missiles - if there was a valid target to attack, instead of Pearl Harbor, that would be it.

And given that I can speak German, English and Hungarian, and have the capabilities to convince the German leadership to let me talk to relevant persons (including Hitler), I could change the course of history. The very history as we know it would change significantly. I would make sure that we win.

Sarin gas would certainly have changed things at Leningrad...

It would have been better as a possibly never-used threat, just to keep one side away. Threatening the Soviets with it wouldn't have caused much PR problems, but to threaten the West would have undermined the ideal way forward - the goal was to exist long enough in as much peace as possible as to let the word out about the miraculous solution to the jewish problem.

That's why they wanted to destroy Germany as soon as possible since 1933, just to prevent exactly that. Because the consequences would be world-wide actions taken against jews, namely removing them from powers of power, finance and influence.
