DasRiech, i suggest reading Hitler's War: Germany's Key Strategic Decisions 1940-45, By Heinz Magdeheimer.
It gives a lot of input on Gemany's reason for war. With Russia, although you must be a bit careful, some people think that in some sections he makes it sound like Germany declared war on Russia to defend itself like a democratic country would. It also descibes, in length, the planed Soviet surprise offensiveagainst Germany in 1942-43. This is not an alternate history book. Nor is it really a what-if? book. It provides facts, and the options available and the paths Germany took. Hope that helps you with your paper.
