He could use his troops on the western front and not worry about the eastern front (Russia).
Stalin and Hitler (via Von Ribbentrop) had signed a non-aggression pact which guaranteed that each would be safe from the other and that parts of eastern Europe would be split between them at a later time. Hitler had always planned to invade the USSR, as indicated in Mein Kampf, as Hitler wanted the USSR's resources and space for the use of the Third Reich. He believed the Slavic people to be sub-human and politically, Bolshevism was diametrically opposed to National Socialism, although the objectives were nearly identical. All indications were that Hitler was about to launch Operation Barbarossa and invade the USSR, but Stalin refused to believe his advisors and intelligence gatherers and trusted to the previously signed non-aggression pact. Even as Hitler's armies came pouring over the Soviet borders on six fronts from the Arctic Ocean to the Black Sea, Stalin steadfastly refused to act until it became blatantly obvious and he could no longer ignore the obvious.
Stalin made it clear in the post-WW 2 Cold War years that Hitler's scheme to begin another world war began to take shape the moment Hitler and the Nazi Party gained full control of Germany and the German military. He claimed that he and Commissar Molotov did all they could to create a collective peace pact with England and France. This effort by the USSR was genuine and meant to be a check on Hitler's ambitions. The refusal of the West to come to terms with the Soviet demands that the Baltic States, Poland and Romania be guaranteed protection from Hitler were in the best interests of peace in Europe. Since England nor France would protect these lesser powers, they were inviting Hitler to take advantage of them. Stalin stated that the true reasons for the cooperation with the USSR on this matter was to isolate the Soviets and allow Hitler to encircle the west and southwestern parts of Europe, creating a major threat to Soviet security.Under these circumstances, Stalin and Molotov had little choice but to come to an agreement with Germany. It was done in self defense, according to Stalin.

The Stalingrad battle was costly because it was a war of attrition between Russian and German forces who fought street by street and house by house . Hitler and Stalin because of their egos would not allow their efforts to seize Stalingrad , Stalin's namesake city , to be thwarted by their arch rival so they made extraordinary efforts in terms of men and material to win the city .
Hitler and Stalin Hitler's father was a cruel angry man who beat Adolph regularly. At the age of 10 Adolph was in a coma for a week due to one of these episodes.

Before the Allied invasion of Normandy was planned and executed, Prime Minister Winston Churchill believed it was important to not have Stalin's troops get to Berlin before the US and British armies.With that in mind he believed that by invading Albania from Italy and then marching north would allow the West to beat the USSR to Berlin. Churchill recognized the true nature of Soviet communism and did not ignore the fact that Stalin's non-aggression pact with Hitler led the way for Germany's invasion of Poland while according to that pact, Stalin was allowed to march into Poland's eastern border and occupy Poland. Only when Hitler invaded the USSR did Stalin become am ally of the west.
