he basically took on too much
he was already fighting a war on one end and then started another one on the other end,so to speak.
stretched his army paper thin and on top of that his forces couldn't handle the russian winter.
game over

Hitler wanted world dominance and Nazism spread worldwide going up against Stalin was bound to happen at some point. You cant be the big dog on the block without everybody taking orders from you and Stalin was never going to be Hitler's side kick. Hitler was an ideologist and sold the German people they better than everyone else he couldn't just take his foot off the gas or else is own army and supporters would of viewed him as a fraud. Tell a lie big enough and keep telling it and people will believe you.

According to his own racist doctrine he would have had to invade and annex Russia no matter what. He didn't see Slavs as equal to Aryans so Russia couldn't be allowed to exist, and he wanted that endless living space for his peoples. So it wasn't a backstab as much as it was him carrying out his racial cleansing plans from the beginning.

The whole point of everything Hitler did, foreign policy-wise, centered around invading Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union and destroying communism. The only reason he entered into an alliance with Stalin in the first place was because Britain and France were going to go to war if he expanded any more – this being after Germany invaded Czechoslovakia and violated the Munich Agreement – and he wanted to avoid a two-front war after he invaded Poland. If Hitler doesn’t invade the USSR, then there’s no point to anything he did, because that was his end game in the first place.

I also doubt he’d be holding on to Western Europe for all that long, either. Churchill already committed the UK to the war, FDR was doing everything he could to drag the USA into it, and there was no way Stalin was going to stand there and allow a powerful, ideologically-hostile Nazi Germany to exist on the borders of the Soviet Union. If Hitler doesn’t invade Russia that year, it probably means a longer and bloodier WWII, but Nazi Germany was screwed regardless. It did not have the resources to beat the combined forces of America, Russia, and Britain all at once in a total war.

And Hitler was not taking London. Germany did not have a navy capable of supporting an amphibious invasion. The best he could hope to do was force a negotiated peace, and that already failed.
