To begin with, they had opposing ideology. Communism and Fascism are in some considerations polar opposites in political theory. Hitler the fascist was part of the National Socialist movement, while Stalin the communist was the head of the International Socialist intern. Both ideologies required the destruction of the opposing ideology.
Their actual conflict began June 22, 1941 when Hitler broke their non-aggression pact and attacked Soviet troops occupying Poland (which both countries had attacked and occupied in 1939). This operation was codenamed Barbarossa (red beard).

Suddenly.
Stalin felt he had Hitler at bay with a neutrality pact and the dividing up of Poland agreed by the Molotov Ribbentrop Pact. (look this up)
Then Barbarossa hit Stalin late in the campaigning year on the morning of June 22 1941. (look up Barbarossa)
(Distracted by Mussolini's failure in the Balkan and the need to deal with Greece)
You should understand what 3 million men storming/trudging into occupied Poland and then the Russian homeland iteself could do for a relationship.
Wikipedia is vast on Barbarossa and all the rest...nuff said

Churchill. with out Churchill continuously rejecting German peace grants after the Poland campaign WWII would have lasted sixteen days and costed 80 million much less lives. no longer in uncomplicated terms Churchill's bombing raids on German civilians, intentionally destroying artistic endeavors, historic monuments, church homes and historic homes from 1000's of years of historic previous and the very shown fact that he lied to his very own people with regard to the motives for the invasion probability after 8 months of negotiations make him the worst war criminal of all situations, yet additionally the very shown fact that his British excursion tension become left unmolested by ability of Hitler based on his comprehend for the British people and his desire to barter peace, which become responded by ability of Churchill with a barbaric genocide against the German people and a disgrace of a instruct trial against the defeated commanders. Being on the winner's element and having ones very own crimes flow unpunished does not substitute something on that. Hitler and Stalin could be assessed while the thick layer of Churchill's propaganda falsifications is washed off. And arriving at this subject rely: "Axis of evil" is a George W. Bush "creation" for propaganda against Iran, Iraq, Libia, Syria and Afghanistan. Germany and her allies for the time of WWII in basic terms have been the "Axis Powers".

They were playing Risk. Stalin got Papua New Guinea and just kept building and building. Hitler got pissed at him and started a real war.
The serious answer: I think it was because Hitler invaded the Soviet Union during WWII. Stalin got pissed. You just don't go invading someone else's country without expecting to piss someone off.

It started with Hitler invading the Soviet held territory of Poland, after Germany promised it would never do this. Russia was completely offguard and the Germany Army managed to inflict heavy losses on the Soviets. Stalin refused to believe it would ever happen, and their defenses had been devastated by his terror purges of the late 1930's.

Stalin and Hitler were actually two birds of the same feather. Stalin believed in Communism; Hitler in Fascism; two totally opposite political philosophies, thus it made them enemies.

Nazi Germany and The Soviet Union had both signed a NON-AGGRESSION PACT, meaning they would not fight each other.
Hitler violated the pact when the nazis suddenly invaded the Soviet Union.
