They were political opposites. The Soviet Union was trying to spread Communism first into Europe and then to the rest of the Western World. Hitler was the only one, it appears, who recognized the danger and was trying to keep Communism out. Hitler was defeated and, as history has proven, Communism has made its way to America and other countries. This was the fault of WW2 leaders who brought the Soviet Union into the Allied camp, so to speak. This opened the door to Communism. It seems Patton was correct when he said that America fought the wrong enemy.

They didn't. They were allies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molotov%E2%80%93Ribbentrop_Pact#Soviet%E2%80%93German_relations Not only did they agree to a "non-aggression" pact that gave each of them half of Poland, they followed this with extensive trade agreements. Nazi Germany even invited the Soviet Union to join the Axis (after the Axis had formed). . . . . BUT... *A* The Nazi Party was fundamentally opposed to Communism. That was one of its fundamental political "planks". *B* Ongoing disputes between Germany and USSR over Balkan territory apparently led Hitler to conclude that invasion of USSR would be the only satisfactory solution to that problem.

As 1465 said it was communism Hitler was originally against, although I can remember reading once that he wanted to be a part of the communist party but they didn't want him. Hitler didn't want to join the League of Nations which eventually became the European Union.
