If the Allies actually joined Germany against the Soviets, which was at least considered, total victory would not have been implausible.
Would such an armistice or total victory take into account Germany's war aims when they began the conflict?

Consider that some of the plotters against Hitler, including the guy Tom Cruise played, weren't opposed to the Holocaust or all the other nice the Nazi Party had made a priority. They were angry that Hitler was screwing up their chances of a Jew-free utopia.
