There were three (ugly honest) reasons:
 * 1) Stalin murdered his own people in his own territory, while Hitler was trying to wipe out pretty much every other people excluding themselves.
 * 2) Winners would rewrite the history in their favour terms, it's largely forgotten that Britian once sent most of supplies from her colonies to her home island during World War II and starved half of Indians continent in process.
 * 3) Communists are still existed in some countries, eg: China, Vietnam. It would upset a number of non-western peoples if Stalin were portrayed as evil. Stalin and Mao Zedong were buddies, and Mao Zedong is praised as "Chinese George Washington" in China.

It is worth to think that if Hitler (somehow) won the Eastern front, will he lets Romania and Hungary live on their own? Considering that he didn't like Italy in early 30's, due to territory conflicted from ex-Austria Hungary. Don't forget that Hitler was an Austrian.

Politic and History are complicated, eh? 🤓
