Probably, but then a letter saying "I just wiped out a whole Army, you want to stop & go back to the border when this started & call it a day" would be a cheap way of getting territory back. Of course not likely to happen.

True but then from a German point of view would the Russians have honoured a treaty given the genocidal nature of the Eastern front.

Also, there was nothing in the West the Germans could have achieved, even had they started a new "Battle of Britain, by 1943 there were ever growing numbers of US troops in the UK and the Royal Navy was still more than capable of kicking the crap out of the Kriegsmarine.
