As you know the Soviet Union is huge and the Germans at the time were commonly believed to take over European Russia atleast till the Ural mountains. However was there any possibility for the Germans to defeat the Soviets, go past the Urals and go all to the east and take over all of eastern(Asian) Russia?

Hitler's vision was for the Urals to be settled by German soldier-farmers who would would be kept from degenerating by a permanent border war with the Asiatic hordes to the east.

From what I’ve read, the Nazis’ ambitions could be boiled down to three goals, that roughly went in order:

1) Unifying German people under one state.
2) Conquering resource-rich and less-crowded lands in Eastern Europe, where Germans could settle and have “room to live.”
3) Unite GermanIC peoples under one state (or at least confederation).  This stemmed from the belief that Germanic peoples were the “purest” descendants of the “Aryans” (i.e., the original Indo European invaders of the continent), so the Nazis had ambitions of assimilating peoples like the Dutch, Danes, Swedes, etc. into German culture.  In effect, through a distortion of actual history, they viewed these people as simply wayward Germans (kind of using “German” as an entangled term with “Germanic,” as though all Germanic peoples were offshoots of Germans ... I know).

Everything else Hitler did (e.g., invading France, invading Yugoslavia, helping Italy in Greece, etc.) seemed to stem more from digging himself a hole and trying to cover his tracks?
