It's easy. The Western countries let Axis grow in power and annex territories in secret plan they would fight against Commies. Because the spread of communism ideology was much more scary thing back then.
Here are straight facts:
NSDAP basically saved Germany and borders from communism
Axis basically was formed by the Anti-Commintern Pact and it were France and Britain who openly let Drittes Reich flex its power and annex left and right putting Versaille Treaty in vain: first Rhineland reoccupation, then Anschluss, and finally Munich Agreement as nail to the coffin. For them, it had sense as building sort of buffer zone and measure of killing communism.
Probably it's not very known fact but before Commies settling Molotov-Ribentrop Pact with Nazis, they were seeking support from Allies against Axis, but they were totally rejected. As I said, SU was seen as thing much SCARIER than Nazis. Even before commies era, Europe were treating Russians as enemies like for eternity. And the West already had Munich Agreement on their side. And years before Munich there was Anglo-German Naval Agreement, I wonder why? ;)
So, brits were planning all of this well ahead: they supported fascism against communism in Central Europe, let it won and grown in power, then signed all agreements with Reich, rejected Stalin and were sitting like in front row in the directed show that Nazi would fight Russia for them.
In short, France and Brits were trying to raise little cute pet and set it on Communismonstro, but as the beast had grown, it all went out of control. LOL?
