"Hitler repeatedly expressed his personal admiration for Stalin, 'one of the most extraordinary figures in world history', as he called him in July 1941. 'Stalin, too,' Hitler told his dinner companions a year later, 'must command our unconditional respect. In his own way he is a hell of a fellow! He knows his models, Genghiz Khan and the others, very well…' 'Stalin,' said Hitler on another occasion, 'is half beast, half giant…If we had given him another ten years, Europe would have been swept away, as it was at the time of the Huns.'"
Richard Evans
Stephen Kotkin in Stalin: Waiting for Hitler, 1929-1941 notes:
"A lifelong Germanophile, Stalin appears to have been mesmerized by the might and daring of Germany's parallel totalitarian regime. For a time, he recovered his personal and political equilibrium in his miraculous Pact with Hitler, which deflected the German war machine, delivered a bounty of German machine tools, enabled the reconquest and Sovietization of tsarist borderlands, and reinserted the USSR into the role of arbitrating world affairs."
