Did Hitler really believe he could win?

After all Stalin was a mid-wife at the birth of Israel, so he couldn't have been all that anti-Semitic.

I didn't say Stalin wasn't anti-semitic.

What I did say is that Hitler saw Stalin as the leader of a vast Jewish conspiracy, so the notion that Hitler "admired Stalin for his anti-semitism" simply does not make sense.

Is that clear? If not, you could always try simply reading what I wrote the first time.

There was no contradiction in what I've said.
"Stalin was not all that anti-semitic," meaning depending on circumstances, his attitude and perceptions about Jews were changing.
That's why for me the notion that Hitler "admired Stalin for his anti-semitism" didn't make sense either.
So nothing to worry about - I understood what you were saying first time around.
