Hitler viewed Communism as a Jewish plot. He connected the two. His war on Jews was a war on Communism, and his invasion of the USSR was an extension of his war on Jews.

There's alot of people who say "Hitler might have won WW2 if he hadn't invaded Russia". I disagree. But it certainly hurt his cause. The problem with the statement though is that when you presume Hitler not invade Russia you change the fundamental ideology and character of the man. His invasion was always part of the plan. He announced it years earlier in Mein Kampf.

And Stalin read Mein Kampf. He knew Hitler would attack...but he wrongly assumed Hitler would wait until the war in the west was done. Stalin had just purged his generals and was in the middle of a military rebuilding project that he THOUGHT he had 2-3 years to complete when Hitler attacked.
