Defeat Russia
Why did Hitler want to defeat Russia?
Hitler liked to cause mayhem. One way you could tell is he embraced war with Russia. The reason he fought with Russia was because he thought they were the master race of the time. Hitler knew he would have to look past the Treaty of Versailles, which was a law that put limitations on their military after the loss in WWI, to defeat Russia.
