I remember watching a history documentary about Stalin, and it said before the war he had hopes that Germany and Russia would be powerful allies whose combined power would be able to spread the tenents of socialism throughout the globe. While he of course had his distrusts of the Nazis he still hoped that Hitler's need for a stable supply of oil and other vital resources would be enough for diplomacy to develop between the two nations.

While of course Hitler in his foolishness gambled away that secure supply of oil in an attempt to secure /all/ of it and more, what if he didn't? What if Hitler was pragmatic enough to not only not invade the USSR but also to invite them into the Axis powers?
