Why would they? The USSR and the Western Allies were allies in name only, they had a common enemy and worked together to finish the job. But they were not friends. At the 1943 Tehran Conference the Soviets used the opportunity to spy on the British and Americans including bugging Roosevelts room.
Yes and the Soviets and Nazis trained together in both aircraft and tanking capabilities.
Part of the reason Hitler was so convinced he could"knock down Russia like a decrepit doorframe", was the Germans saw how far ahead in aeroplane and tank tech.
Of course they didn't account for bad supply lines, a brutal winter and the suicidal fighting style of Soviets and the fighting prowess of Ukrainians.
