Yes, very much so- he led the heroic resistance of the Soviet Red Army against Hitler's invasion of Russia in 1941, which saw the terrible Siege of Leningrad and appalling atrocities committed by the SS against Russian citizens. At the worst period of the Nazi invasion, the German Army was only 10 miles way from Moscow. Stalin oversaw the expulsion of the Nazi invaders from the USSR, and the Red Army went on to free Eastern Europe from German occupation.

What did Josef Stalin do in World War 2?
This question about Stalin's efforts in World War 2 requires a long explanation so I have attached a link to give you a full idea of Josef Stalins actions. He was responsible for half the victory of defeating Germany on the European soil.Stalin's country really just held off the German advance at a huge cost in life, and they kept the Germans occupied until D-Day. The Russian's were only able to do so because of their massive population and the Russian winter which stopped Napoleon as well. When the allies stormed Normandy the Russians also began an offensive, eventually taking Berlin. Stalin him self coordinated with the rest of the wars leaders, and did to some extent what Churchill and Roosevelt did in keeping the people going.

The advantages to Russia included that in 1939 the Russian Army was too weak to resist a Nazi assault (Stalin had executed most of Russia's best generals in the preceding decade); being free of the Nazi threat left Russia able to invade Finland (they did, the Finns gave them a beating); and Russia was able to gain the foreign currency it desperately needed by selling oil to the Nazi war-machine. Many Americans began to back Germany in its war against England at this point (among the most famous were Charles Lindbergh, Woody Guthrie, and Walt Disney - though Disney havered about his pro-Nazi sympathies). By the middle of 1941 Hitler's war against England had ground to a stalemate in North Africa. Hitler needed a winnable war, and also hoped to ingratiate himself with anti-Communist elements in America (and even England), so he launched an attack into Russia (Operation Barbarossa) on June 22nd 1941. Hitler had miscalculated. The Russian army was now strong enough to resist the German invasion. After an initial scorched-earth retreat the Russian line held at Stalingrad and St. Petersburg, and then the Russian army began a slow rollback which eventually destroyed Germany's Panzer capability at Kursk. Japan had entered the war on December 7th 1941 with its attack on Pearl Harbour, when even the Americans deserted Hitler. Attacking Russia was Hitler's most costly mistake (among very very many).

How did the relationship between Hitler and Stalin evolved over the course of World War 1?
During World War 2 Hitler and Stalin maintained a keep your distance and don't tread on me attitude with one another. They both signed a phony nonaggression pact knowing Hitler would never honor it. Hitler invaded Russia and killed 20 million Russians. Stalin took his revenge out on Hitler and let his Red Army "rape, pillage and plunder" the nations they defeated Hitler's Wehrmacht army force.
What is the Russian name for World War 2?
The Great Patriotic War. There is some irony in this: On the one hand, Russia suffered greatly, with some 20 million people dying; but on the other hand Hitler would not have dared warlike expansion without Stalin approving the secret Molotov-Ribentrop non-aggression pact. Under this pact Russia agreed to let Hitler invade Poland and keep two-thirds of it, provided Russia could annexe the eastern one-third. Hitler then double-crossed Stalin and invade Russia, ultimately losing at Stalingrad. Russians were very brave in the war; but without Stalin's disgusting connivance with Hitler, the war might never have happened.
Why did Hitler ask Stalin to sign a non aggression treaty?
Hitler knew a war was about to start- he wanted to invade Poland, which was allied with France and England. He did not want to repeat World War I, where Germany was stuck fighting against France, England and Russia at the same time. So he made the non-aggression pact to keep the Soviet Union (Russia) out of the war. This was successful. Eventually Hitler broke the treaty and attacked the Soviet Union.
Who is Hitler worse than Stalin?
Note: A lot of opinions. Some are below. It depends on how you define evil.Stalin:I would say Stalin as he was pure evil. Hitler was evil do not get me wrong, but Stalin hated everyone. Hitler had problems with the Jews and a few others, but Stalin persecuted his own people and others. There are more statistics on Hitler than Stalin. That is why more people might say Hitler for they do not know much about Stalin. Hitler is a household name, Stalin is usually not.Hitler:I would actually say Hitler was the more evil of the two. Like the poster above said, Stalin hated everyone, but Hitler targeted, isolated, and slaughtered one group of people. At least Stalin didn't discriminate.Hitler:Hitler plunged Europe into war as well as committing appalling atrocities. (Stalin did not unleash a major war). Hitler has become the #1 20th century icon (or symbol) of evil.Stalin:Although Stalin didn't cause a war he still sided with Hitler in the war. On top of that Stalin killed everyone even in his own army he had groups that where called blocks behind his soilders. They were ordered to shoot any troop giving up ground no matter what. Plus Stalin did start a war by him self the cold war!!!Hitler:There is all this talk about Stalin killed off his own fellow Russians - In actual fact he was betrayed by a fair number of his own fellow men who worked secretly for Hitler. When Stalin found this out, brutally and literally, lined those who betrayed them and had them shot. Everything he did was for a reason and people are too quick to jump to conclusions without fact. In all honesty, he can be seen as one of the greatest leaders of our time who took an undeveloped country and turned it into the greatest industrial country with one of the most powerful military forces to this very day.Stalin:Both Stalin and Hitler are both considered some of the worst leaders. Both instituted totalitarian governments and they both killed lots of people. Stalin would kill people, and then expunge them from all records, like in pictures. Hitler, at the end of the war, gassed millions of people. However, Stalin's communist policy also led to major shortages in food and caused tens of millions of people to starve to death. So, between Hitler and Stalin - they were both terrible leaders, I would have to say Stalin. Yes, Hitler was bad, but Stalin was worse! Wrap up:One can debate motive and intentions all day, but if murder is the greatest evil, then when the debate is said and done, Hitler is usually ascribed with about 15 million murders and Stalin with tens and tens of millions of murders.

Why did Joseph Stalin switch sides in World War Two?
Because "the enemy of my enemy is my friend", and that is how Stalin played the US and British, like violins.

Stalin had tried to sit World War 2 out by signing a nonaggression pact with Germany, but Hitler never intended to honor that pact forever.

Stalin was a reluctant allied leader at first, but an enthusiastic one at war's end when he could claim the spoils of war and extend Communist influence into as many east European countries as it could.
