Germany is fighting a defensive war against the Soviet Union because it is allies with Finland who are fighting a defensive war against the Soviet Union. Is there anyway to change Germany to an offensive war against the Soviet Union.

As far as I know, no. And as Germany and Soviet Union are both in faction no peace possible until full victory. I hope you don't need an offensive war to trigger something.

I thought you were referring to whether or not Germany was the one to declare war, which would make it an "offensive war" - that's an important distinction in this game.

Most likely they aren't attacking because they don't have the strength to. You could try to help them directly, but otherwise I don't think there's a way.

Yes, AI behaviour isn't tied to who declare war. It will act the same for both defensive or offensive war.
You can see the status of your war by clicking the war notification on top of screen, and for foreign war click on the war tension upper right corner. Then go to war section. Offenders are on left, defenders on right (I think :) have a doubt right now)

Well passive AI behaviour is an issue, it happens when the AI sees itself as too weak to attack, but stands by its allies none-the-less.
