Hitler was far more aggressive and engaged in conquest than the Soviets were.

Which is why we allied with Stalin vs Hitler, and not the other way round.  Had Germany ended up with a different sort of far-right figure (more like Horthy, perhaps) and the USSR one more committed to the idea of world revolution (Trotsky?), it is not difficult to imagine a different sort of WWII.

That's right. SomeGuy has lurched uncontrollably into the truth.
