I think the answer is fairly simple. Germany should have captured the oil in the south rather than marching to Moscow/Stalingrad. They could have cut off the power in the country, rather than invading during the winter....which has never, ever been successful.

Additionally, Germany allocated too many resources towards its "final solution".
