For Germany. the goal was to mainly occupy Moscow withing 7 Months of Operation Barbarossa. During Germany's preparation for Operation Barbarossa, Hitler made 5 key points which were needed so that The USSR would fall and leave countries like the UK all alone. The 5 goals were
1.Leningrad
2. Moscow
3. Baltic Sea
4. Stalingrad
5. Maikop and Grozny oil fields
these 5 locations were Adolf Hitler's main goals because, apart from Moscow all were key soviet resource areas. Stalingrad and Leningrad both mass produced tanks, at the end of World War 2, these 2 areas would of produced other 50% of the Soviets entire supply of tanks. The oil fields were the USSR's main Oil Supplies, without this the Soviets wouldn't be able to defend nor counter attack the Germans. The Baltic Sea was a key transport link of goods throughout the USSR and the world. Moscow was the capital of the USSR, so if Germany occupied that then the rest of the USSR would of likely to fall.
The point was to gain the trust of the Soviet Union, then when they least expect it, attack them and take Moscow.
