Why did Hitler turn on Joseph Stalin?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

By the middle 1941 Hitler's war against England, England had a ground to stalemate North Africa. Hitler needed a winnable war, so he launched an attack into Russia. Hitler betrayed Stalin and Russia because he made an alliance to not attack but to help Russia, Russia was strong enough to resist the German invasion.

Answer 3

Answer 4

Answer 5
