Answer:

Adolf Hitler announced that he would rearm Germany in violation of the Treaty of Versailles. Hitler revealed that Germany had begun to construct an air force, and unveiled plans to reinstitute conscription and create a German army of more than half a million men.

Hitler believed the Aryan Germans were racially superior to the Slavs of Eastern Europe and should expand into their lands to accommodate a growing Aryan population. To destroy communism. Hitler detested the Soviet Union and its ideology and was determined to destroy it.
