Because the USSR was an enormous country with a huge number of men under arms and capable of being called up so it was going to take a very large force to conquer it. Michael Montagne

Why did Hitler turn on Joseph Stalin?

Just the opposite, Stalin doublecrossed Hitler. Both agreed to simultaneously invade Poland as agreed upon in Moscow in 1939. When the appointed time came Stalin held back his army. Germany was forced to take on Poland by itself, weakening its position and drawing the ire of the Western allies. Stalin was very clever and Hitler a bit naive. The attack on The USSR in 1941 by Germany may have appeared suicidal but in fact Hitler really had no choice. He was unable to knock out England in 1940, Germany grew weaker fighting England and knew inevitably the USA would come to their aid. He knew he could not trust Stalin again and before he could build up the Red Army into a powerful threat to attack Germany, Hitler preemptively attacked. It was a long shot gamble, and it failed. In reality the war was already decided in 1939 with Stalin's doublecross of Hitler.


What caused Adolph Hitler believe the Soviet Union could easily be defeated?

There were several reasons, primarily the historically poor performance of the Russian Army in the First World War, and the poor performance of the Soviet Red Army in the 1930's, and during the invasion of Poland in September 1939 and then in their Winter War against Finland (November 1939-March 1940). Hitler also believed the Russians/Slavs to be inferior to the German people, and was convinced that Communism had weakened Russia/Soviet Union. After he defeated France in just 6 weeks, whereas it was not defeated in the First World War, Hitler thought that Russia (defeated in the First World War by Germany) would be easier to defeat than France. Also, Josef Stalin had seriously damaged the leadership & morale of the Soviet Red Army with his paranoia driven purges (murder) of its top officers in the short years prior to the Second World War. Hitler was correct in his assessment of the USSR, he made serious military errors that gave the USSR the break it needed. For example, even though Kiev was a stubborn hold out, Hitler stopped the advance of his armies heading for Moscow to turn back and finish off that city.. On top of that was the fact the invasion was six weeks behind schedule. This was because a the Balkans were a problem. He should have waited another year.
