An interesting point. Early on Hitler did have hopes of Britain joining Germany in a war against the Soviet Union. Hitler was right that Churchill viewed the USSR as an enemy and in fact Churchill's plans to invade Norway also included helping Finland fight the USSR. If this had come about, Britain would have been fighting on two fronts, the Germans on one hand and the Soviets on the other. A scenario that could have led to Britains defeat or an eventual uneasy alliance with Germany.
After victory in Europe again Churchill viewed the USSR as the next enemy, but war in the far east was still raging and frankly if he had suggested taking on the USSR at that time the poeple of Britain would have probably lynched him, they had had enough.
