No Barbarossa and they probably could have brought Britain down...probably. That is also assuming Japan doesn't do that thing in Hawaii. Without a German distraction in Russia and American aid then they would eventually be brought to peace.
It really depends on what you define by "winning". Hitler was never going to achieve all of his war aims with all of the resources he had on hand, which more informed posters are sure to firmly state are much less than one would think.
Define win.
Exist? It's possible, not likely, but possible.
Defeat the Soviet Union? Maybe.
Conquer the European parts of the Soviet Union? Eh, one in a thousand chance, maybe less.
Get a ceasefire with Britain? Eh, I'll go with another maybe.
Force the United States from the war? Nope.
Defeat Nritain, the United States, and the Soviet Union? Not possible in any form.

It was extremely unlikely that Nazi Germany could win the war after June of 1941 and impossible after December of 1941.
A different Germany could have won the war. Nazi Germany on the other hand.
Well lets say that their goals where unrealistic and so was a win.

So in other words all we have to do to make Nazi Germany win is...not have them be Nazi Germany.
There were offers and counteroffers for joining .just have the pro continental sway hitler or have him die
The destruction of the Soviet Union, extermination of its population, and replacing them with Germans was the PRIMARY goal of the Nazi Party.
Yes But they don't have follow them and there was a faction in the nazi party that wanted to ally the Soviet Union or they can always wait until after the war.
Nazi Germany theoretically had the resources to conquer continental Europe, especially when building on earlier successes. It's the turning that theoretical capacity into practice that makes it impossible, it requires the highest efficiency of any combatant and every single sphere of war from animal food production to the accuracy of long range pistol fire. It's impossible for any one country to string together all that excellence, the winners of WW2 were better at the more important things than Germany was although Nazi Germany was very good at some stuff.
NEIN
no, there several factors were the Nazi shoot them selves in foot
1.
Man power, they attack USSR with 3 million soldiers, while soviet union mobilize 6 million soldiers and 4 million in reserve
means a german soldiers faced 2 to 3 soviet soldiers who want to kill him.
2.
Logistic, the Nazi war machine had from the begin this problem short military action under Blitzkrieg
with there Attack to USSR there logistic could't follow the advances of Wehrmacht
so in some cases the german soldiers run out of ammo dring battle or freeze to death in harsh Russian winter do lack of supply
next to that was war material production lacking of vital raw material like alloy constituent,
production capacity limited by Nazi Ideology or worker called of for servis into Wehrmacht
the German war machine needed allot of petrol who was scarce good during the war
3.
High tech vs. low tech
irony, while germans high complex tanks (getting bigger and heavier) run out petrol, defeated by the simple easy to produce soviet T-34 tank, who run on diesel fuel.
or they trust in Enigma enciphering machine, while the British build a "computer" to on-enciphering the Enigma code
in end of War the Nazi leaders wastes precious resources in hundreds insane High Tech weapon systems in hope to win the war.
4.
"Greatest Field Commander of all Time", better know as Adolf Hitler
he made complet insane military decision like Stalingrad or his order not to withdrawal as the Soviet front line collapsed.
or the attack on allies front in 1944 in Belgium ardennes.
also this declaration of War toward USA, only to get the US air war machine over there head who bomb the third reich into stone age.
Churchill refused any command operation to kill Hitler, because Hitler decision help the allies more that Third Reich.
and yes the Wehrmacht try to kill Hitler because of his incompetent...
or the Luftwaffe under Göring
it was one of strongest in world in beginn of WW2, but it leader Göring wasted that force into obliteration
in end of war only a hand full of germans pilots were abel to attack US air fleet with 1500 bombers and support fighters.
