From the signing of the Nazi-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact in August of 1939 until the launching of Operation Barbarossa in June 1941, Stalin had proven to be steady and consistent in upholding the terms of the 1939 agreement with Germany. In fact, he had acted much like an ally in his relationship with Germany, joining in the invasion of Poland for example. Hitler decided to turn on Soviet Russia and attempted to conquer that vast country in 1941. Did Hitler have any good (valid) reasons for attempting this? What were the most important reasons for his failure? Was German success even possible? Why or why not?
