a) He considered it British disinformation in an attempt to get Russia to join them in the war and,
b) Hitler would have had to be crazy to attack Russia while Britain remained undefeated in the West.
Little did Stalin know that Hitler WAS crazy.
Richard Sorge, Stalin's spymaster in Japan, told him that the Germans were going to attack Mat Rodina and got the date wrong by 48 hours.
