Yes, wasn't that one of the things they hoped they could pull off - a separate peace with the western Allies, allowing them to focus their efforts on the Russian front? Meanwhile hoping that then the US and UK would withdraw from alliance with the USSR. I think they really believed that getting Hitler out of the way would take unconditional surrender to the Allies in toto off the table and they would have the chance to call at least a few of the shots.
