This was a major problem for Japan after we stopped selling them oil too. Sounds like Hitler was just convinced that Russia would attack him and he did what he always did and tried to blitzkrieg them first before they knew what hit em. Country was way way too big to fall to a blitzkrieg attack. Africa, France, Middle East and all the countries he took over had lots of oil.
