The Holocaust ate up a lot of resources, time, and personnel that Germany could have spent directly on trying to win WWII.

Surely an advisor to Hitler said something to the tune of, "Hey, Adolf. This Holocaust is a money pit. I know we're obscenely racist, but how about we focus our resources on killing the enemies who are actually shooting at us in our giant multifront war? We'll get around to genocide after we win."

Why didn't the Nazis do this? Were they just so racist that they couldn't stomach the idea of delaying the Holocaust for the sake of war strategy? Or are there other reasons this didn't happen?

Since Hitler obviously turned down this idea, another advisor must've said something like, "How about we just conscript all the Jews and other undesirables and use them as cannon fodder, putting them in battles where they're highly likely to die? When the war's over, we can swing back around and finish off any who manage to survive. It'll kill two birds with one stone and we'll let the Allies spend a fortune killing them rather than wasting our own money."

Why didn't the Nazis take this path?

I don't understand why the Nazis didn't postpone the Holocaust to focus resources on the war and I would appreciate any light you can shed on this.
