Indeed. But logistically I don't even see how he figured to control Russia. It is such a vast place and Germany had so few soldiers. Just to keep order in the west would have denied Germany any ability to fight on. Realistically you can't occupy Russia. Unless the communist regime aggrees to help in controlling the country with Germany at the helm but that isnt realistic either given Stalin.
Russia seems like a fools war. No one was ever able to do it.
