If Russia had been a neutral country during WWII, would Germany have been able to win? They would be able to focus their forces to their western front and not have to fight a two front war.

Besides, Hitler ever since he started the war, his major goal was to destroy communism and Russia. He saw Russia as a prize that could bring massive economy to the nation to help purify the world around them. Hitler believed in the Lebensraum too heavily to give up Russia. But, no we couldn't have won if Russia wasn't there :?

Agreed. Hitler's ambitions lay East and South, not West. And there's no way that the Western Allies would have been able to even think about landing in Normandy etc without having the Soviet Union on their side. I also highly doubt the USSR could have remained neutral either.
