Both bastards had a lot in common.
But basically USSR was a replacement for Poland which ultimately refused to ally with him. Hitler wanted his eastern border secured so he just changed the tactic a bit.
In case you're wondering Hitler decided to attack Poland in April, 1939 when Cannaris told him about the Polish-British agreement.

Poles were betrayed anyway.

Hitler's ultimate goal was always the destruction of the Soviet Union and the colonization of Eastern Europe. However, he knew that Germany was in no position to fight a two-front war, and chose to neutralize the Western Allies first (invading Poland which was guaranteed by Britain and France, then invading and occupying France) before taking on the Soviets.

He had plans to attack France as well as the Soviets. France was supposed to be first but I'm not sure about his endgame.
Then the Soviets.

I said *ultimate goal*. Hitler wanted Alsace-Lorraine back and a weak/economically dependent France but was far less concerned about Western Europe.

If it wasn't for this close cooperation Gestapo wouldn't be that effective. NKVD tought them everything they knew.

I thought this came before.
I know the details about that alliance is an awkward topic especially in Russia which is why I love talking about it.
They sent armaments, experts, prisoners, aided in battle when they had to, drew the new European border.

Even in their differences both were pretty similar in some ways
