They didn't. They used each other. Stalin had long term plans to have Hitler eliminate the intelligentsia of Europe as he had done in Russia.

Hitler approved of all the methods of Russian genocide that had been going on for years and actually sent people to Russia to learn how to build concentration camps. Hitler's demands of absolute merciless cruelty from his officers actually came from the example of Stalin. This similitude would have resulted in a simmering resentment in Hitler and a feeling of inferiority.

Publicly admiring the Russians was bad for Hitler's political aspirations as well so he chose to reverse any good things he'd been saying them. The Ribbentrop Pact had been a ruse to get supplies while holding the Russians at bay so that he could concentrate on other activities. The Russians welcomed this because they had only recently finalized their war with Finland (and lost) and the Japanese on the Manchurian border, (and won).
