Yes, I wouldn't mind living in a Germany that stretched to Lithuania, complete with intact cities. IMO the best solution after WWI would have been to have allowed the German speaking peoples of Germany and Austria (+ Sudetenland) to unite. Maybe that could have averted the following conflict.

But that would mean France has no chance of being the dominant power in Europe, thus defeating the entire purpose of the Versailles Treaty. The entire thing was a sham from the start.

Have you read anything about German war aims? I mean they weren't Nazi, but the plans for the "East" were a near prototype(German princes as monarchs, German settlers with the locals working the land as sharecroppers in the Ukraine/Lithuania/Poland). France crippled economically indefinitely, half of Belgium annexed. The Germans got off incredibly lightly.
