I simply do not see how you can read Mein Kampf and not come to the
conclusion that 22 June 1941 was the happiest day of Hitler's life.
His whole purpose in life from roughly 1922 forward was to destroy the
Soviet Union and replant it with German colonists.
A World War II scenario that does NOT involve an eventual German
attack on the Soviet Union either involves a different Hitler or an
extremely early defeat of Nazi Germany (for instance if Guderian's
armored force breaks out at Sedan and is then cut off and forced to
surrender with the war then breaking down basically into "a World War
I style war of attrition but with tanks and aircraft" meaning that
Hitler is never able to assemble a force strong enough to credibly
attack the Soviet Union)
From Hitler's point of view the whole purpose of 1939-40 was to
conquer enough territory in the West so that he could secure his
western flank without getting into the sort of two front war that
drained Germany as WW1 did while enabling him to get on with what he
REALLY wanted which was to get on with his invasion of Russia as
quickly as possible.
The campaigns in North Africa and Yugoslavia/Greece were all about
supporting Italy who had created two new fronts that Hitler would have preferred not be opened so he could put his maximum strength against
the ONLY front he really cared about.
The Nazi-Soviet pact was seen strictly as a temporary measure to keep
the eastern front quiet while he got on with his securing of the
western flank - but even in 1939 the war Hitler REALLY cared about was
Russia.
