The German-Soviet Non-aggression Pact or the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, after the men who drafted it. The Pact wasn't made to buy time for just Hitler, but for Russia as well. It also defined how the dictators would split Poland.
Technically, Russia wasn't Germany's 'ally' in WW2. Germany and the Soviet Union signed a non-aggression pact (the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, often referred to as the Hitler-Stalin Pact) on the 23rd of August, 1939. Neither sides intended to honour the pact for longer than was convenient. Russia fully expected Hitler to break the pact and declare war, which he did in June 1941, but they did not suspect it to be so soon. On the 22nd of June 1941, the Third Reich's panzer divisions, in a blitzkrieg known as 'Operation Barbarossa', swept across the Curzon line into Russia and changed the course of the war.
They didn't - Italy and Germany were allies. Together, they made up the Axis powers in WW2. Germany originally had a Non-Aggression pact with the Soviet Union (Russia), but in 1941, Germany invaded Russia, so Russia officially joined the Ally powers (USA, Great Britain, France, etc.)
No, they never met face to face, not even when the Non-Aggression Pact between Germany and the Soviet Union was signed. However, there was an unsubstantiated report that when Hitler launched Operation Barbarossa invading Russia with over 4 million troops, there was a telephone conversation in which Stalin and Hitler called each other names.
> Hitler and Stalin did agree to be allies, however Hitler broke the pact by > invading russia when Stalin was completely unaware to this. When this > happened Stalin sulked away in his room for 3 or 4 days while the German > soldiers invaded Russia. When they were still allies though, they agreed > to split up Poland half for Hitler and half for Stalin. Mostly true. > They hated each other. Fascism and communism are polar opposites, so > Hitler and Stalin viewed each other's method of rule as the wrong way. They > did have a sort of respect for each other, hence the short-lived > Non-Aggression Pact between the two countries. This is inaccurate and based on false assumptions. Stalin may have come to hate or respect Hitler because of the events described above. But they had no sense of being polar opposites due to ideology, these two had just signed a non aggression pact, making them allies just as war was brewing, and after both had spent many years building large militaries.
