Actually the Soviets were doing exactely that anyway, despite Hitler's attack, but in a much greater degree.

The Eastern part of Germany, entire Poland, the Czech & Slovaks, Hungarians, Romanians, Bulgarians, Albanians, Yugoslavians paid the price for Hitler's dream of Lebensraum.

I'm still studying but I *still* hold the "insane belief" that Germany was capable of victory in May 1944.
No one of us will ever stop studying, I guess. But it's considerably hard for me to argue against "believes" rather than on facts or on the accepted current state of history scholarship.
