There are lots of things Germany could have done to change the outcome of the war.
First if they hadn't attacked US ships there was always the potential that the US might of not looked at Germany as a threat. US and Germany were not as far apart back then as we became once they started sinking our ships. We were actually working both sides of the fence at that point and many wanted the US to ally with Germany rather than the Brits.
Had Hitler not pulled the Luftwaffe out of Russia he would have certainly won the Russian campaign. It was almost a done deal but then he pulled out most of his air support to sent to Africa and it gave the Russians one last chance which they took advantage of.
Hitler wanting Jet Bombers when he could have put Jet fighters to use early on. If Germany had made use of Jet fighters early on in large numbers rather than trying to build jet bombers he could have really slowed down the progress of the allied invasion and or bombing campaigns.
