Ural RIVER in Nazi Planning?

My friend is being incredibly persistent that the South-Eastern Border of the Reich was supposed to stop at the Ural River....

However, I cannot find any source for this- not even where he told me it was supposed to be (Mein Kampf). However, doing a search for the Ural River and Nazi comes up with literally nothing that's actually suggests the Nazis even defined any border on the South-Eastern Part of their Eastern Border.
The closest thing I found is an author defining the eastern border of Europe generally being on the Eastern Edge of the Urals.

Is there ANY source that Hitler ever made this claim?
 
I don't think the Ural river was ever seen as the border. When talking of lebensraum the Nazis usually followed the Volga river to some extend, not the ural river. Going further east along the ural river from what we call European Russia is stretching it too far, not even the Nazis felt it should go that far.

The Volga towards the north(all of the Caucasus though) then a couple of hundred miles east of Moscow all the way to Archangelsk is what i believe what the Nazis saw as their border.

The Ural river crawls a long way across north of Kazakhstan towards the East and only goes north at Orsk. Its not very practical as a border.
 
Wasn't there some Nazi "pie in the sky" dream where they were ultimately going to link up with the Japanese along the Yenisei, or something nuts like that? I could've sworn I read that somewhere.

Wasn't the A-A line just the point where the Germans thought the Russians would give up fighting at?

Indeed it was. i confused the 2. The Ural mountains were considderd the border, a new border for Europe.


It appears they in fact did consider the Ural mountains a border if possible and everything went right. But not the ural river. Reading all that makes me tthink they would have gone as far as Vladivostok if they could have, since they wanted endless fighting.
