Germany and the USSR were sworn enemies. The whole Nazi rise was on the back of criticizing and attacking communism, the USSR, the Jewish connect, etc.

War was inevitable, only Germany decided to attack first to take the advantage of their maneuverability over rough terrain (a massive advantage over the Soviets and core to Blitzkrieg). If Germany didn't attack, some time later the USSR would of attacked Germany at an advantageous time.

All wars originating from central Europe have typically had to be "quick", decisive wins, due to lack of resources, raw materials, etc. Hence Germany's attack.
