On Pace to Victory?

I am about to start my 3rd game as Germany in the Grand Campaign and want to track my progress to victory as being ahead or behind.

What are the best key indicators in determining if I am on pace?

Such as:
Capture Riga and Minsk on Turn 1
Kill 3 million Soviets by Sept 1st
Kill 4 million Soviets by Jan 1st

Thank you for your tips!

Somehow when I see them Ruskies below 2 milion on map hehe then I think that I am on a right track....

But, them (Soviets) gets enormous reinforcements and few times infusion of 500000 manpower.

I think that speedy capture is not so important. Yeah Riga and Minsk are easy Turn 1 goal.
But, for example I am on turn 8 and this turn I captured Smolensk and Kiev.
It is much better to concentrate into damaging Red Army as much as possible.

Technically I could take Odessa now it is few turns isolated but I will bring some more forces to try to keep casualties down.
Odessa is isolated by Flugher Fuhrer Ostsee.
I think that this time I will bring Soviets down maybe even before or maybe I will drag it to 1942. just to see that famous Soviet winter offensive ...
