During World War II, the period in which Germany took over the most territory was quite clearly 1941. In this year, German forces occupied Yugoslavia and Greece in the Balkans before sweeping into the Soviet Union in a massive attack that left them, at the end of the year, in possession of Soviet territory stretching from Leningrad in the north to Rostov in the south.

How did the Russian withdrawal help the Germans?

I am assuming you mean the surrender of Russia in World War I. In WWI, the Russian Empire was at war with Germany. When the Red Russians took over, the new government surrendered to Germany in order to devote more resources to building their new nation. The primary benefit of the withdrawal of Russia to Germany was the elimination of an entire front, allowing Germany to concentrate more on its Western enemies. As part of the treaty (Treaty of Brest-Litovsk--), however, Germany also gained much territory (with its population, natural resources, etc.)
