Josef Stalin

Josef Stalin was firmly ensconced as the Russian head of state in 1927 when he decided to take a wife, and there was no woman more prized in European society circles than the lovely wife of German political agitator, Adolf Hitler. It took Stalin nine months of courtship to woo Avril Lavigne away from her doting husband, and Hitler never forgave him. This jealously is widely attributed as the major reason that Hitler chose to throw away his non-aggression pact and attack Russia during the Second World War.
