The fact remains that the Soviets worked out the nonaggression pact with the Nazis that let them invade and partition and destroy other countries such as Poland(a trick the Soviets would constantly repeat). The fact also remains that Stalin would not have betrayed the pact, the way Hitler did. In fact, he was genuinely startled when Hitler invaded.
As for Italy, Mussolini came to regret his alliance, and even knowing that it would probably mean his own death was actively cheering each allied victory against Hitler by mid 1943 when the Nazis had de facto control over his country.
As far as putting replies in the right place over here, that is close to impossible. I've never mastered that trick. :-)

But I guess I took your statement as implying that Stalin and Hitler had a certain affinity for eachother, which I don't think was the case at all. Mussolini's regrets came way too late, he was like a dog, happy and easily impressed (fooled) by Hitler.
