"The Russians were Germanys allies - right up to the point the UK repulsed the German airfleets during the Battle OF Britain; only after giving up on invading the UK, did the Germans turn on, and attack the Russians."

There are so many mistakes in that one sentence that I can only suggest that you go away and read some proper history books. If you want less academic texts, Hastings, Schirer and Alan Clark will put you straight in about 10 volumes in total.

However, in brief summary - following Stalin's paranoid purge of the Red Army in 1936, Russia could only appease Germany because it did not have the strength to do anything else. The UK did not repulse the Luftwaffe; it just become clear that sufficient air superiority could not be maintained for an invasion, and Hitler still hoped for peace with Britain. The whole point of the war was eventually to attack Russia to get the Ukraine, and Lebensraum for a vast German expansion eastwards.
