Yes, i have read about this theory and have wrote about it in this forum or was it at Heavengames where the larger most laughed at it or denied it. I read about it in an Estonian forum and i don't think i will find the certain post again, but i have some information about it in the far end of my curvy brain. Well, here goes:
Lenin himself had a plan for a World War and that the proletariate would take over the world, but for everyones joy, he died due to a long and lets hope a painful disease( a plot for killing him is not excluded ) and his plans were washed out and i don't know if Stalin knew of his plans. But Stalin wasn't too eager of staying in his own natural borders and started prepairing for the one war that would have conquered Europe and later Asia and there on, thw world. After Hitler came to power, Soviet Union invited German officers for training and also, the Russians built some parts of the German Airforce and sent them back to Germany as fight-able fighters. And the SU wasn't sitting on his thumbs either, building heavy-ass tanks for highway use (which are perfect for the Central, and Western European roads as there were none or little in Russia) and also prepairing endless amounts of parachuters which was more then all the other European powers combined could have put out.
The SU also had massive defensive lines on the East which composed of minor compounds which could have sufficiently kept themselves alive for weeks with out any reinforcements. For some reason Stalin had them destroyed and made the entire Eastern line ready for the offensive against Europe when ready. So, Stalin was waiting for Hitler to start his war and knew that Adolf wasn't much prepared for a war of this scale and knew that in just a few years when Europe would be in ruins and Germany out of fuel, ammo, men that he and the Red Army would invade the entire Europe with minor resistance. A quite logical plan if you ask me. Although one thing postponed Stalins plans. It was Finland. The Red Army was incapable against a nation of 5 million and that showed the weakness of them at that time as the Red Army that would invade Europe was itself in size of 5 million men. Stalin started doubting and that messed up his plans. Without a delay like that, the SU would have invaded in the end of 1940. or in the very beginning of 1941.
The SU, also broke the Molotov-Ribbendrop pact as they took a little more land than was "required". That being a piece of Romania, where Russian bases were put up. The German High Command got suspicious, but didn't use any military force at that phase of the war. I think Hitler had no hard facts of the invasion but was paranoid and that made him go through with it. Hitler knew that if he would attack England, Stalin would take him down and if he would attack Stalin, the Brittish would invade and annihiliate him. So, Hitler chose to attack the SU as he would rather make friends with a jew then let Europe be Under Slavic or communist rule. So Stalin was caught by surprise and that is the end of that.
So, that makes Hitler the savior of Europe.
