There were basically two camps among the Germans in 1939-1941: The Nazi ideologues around Rosenberg, who wanted the ultimate showdown with the Soviets, viewing the pact as merely temporarily, and on the other side the OKH around General Jodl, who wanted a alliance with the Soviets against the British Empire, even planning a joint German-Soviet offensive into India.

Hitler originally cautiously favored the pro-Soviets, and in November 1940 made Stalin the offer to join the Axis formally. However Stalin demanded Finland and the Dardanelles, which infuriated Hitler. He then switched firmly to the anti-Soviet camp and decided to invade Red Joe. Had Stalin and Hitler be a bit more compromising on their territiorial claims, the Nazi-Commie alliance may have well survived some time longer...

Thank You.
I have not read about the India Plan. Was this to have a foothold to consolidate with Japan assuming total control of the entire Euro/Asian Continent? Stalin and Hitler good grief. Talk about two insane Dictators going head to head.

and the loyal US Leftists continued to adore their Stalin....just like they adore Obozo now, even if he signed a pact with General Motors...the evil pharma companies, and other capitalists....oh, wait, he did!
