Hitler wrote as early as 1923 in Mein Kampf of his designs on Russia. It was no secret from anyone half paying attention. The fertile Black Earth, the industrial heart of the Don Bas, unlimited natural resources, especially oil, etc. were by rights of the "master race" their's for the taking. Hitler was a sworn, bitter enemy of Bolshevism just as much as International Jewry. By contrast, Stalin had ideological goals to expand his brand of Communism into Europe and beyond...just wait it out until Germany and the Western Allies beat themselves up enough.
War between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union was as inevitable as the sun coming up tomorrow. This was not lost on Stalin....The 1939 Non Aggression Pact was just a maneuver by two wolves to buy time before getting at each others throats. Whether or not the Germans had the STG 44 earlier wouldn't have made a lick of difference in the final outcome.
