The Germans signed a non aggression pact with the Soviets, on the first of September 1939 the Germans invaded Poland a week after the pact with the Soviets had been signed, if the Soviets had done nothing and not gone into Poland over two million Nazi troops would have been right on the Western border of the Soviet Union sooner than they were and it may have been too late to stop them, next you clowns will be telling us the guards at Auschwitz were Russian.
By this point, almost all European countries had signed similar non-aggression pacts with Germany. Poland was the first to do so in 1934. But for some reason, everyone remembers the USSR...
Because the USSR had been and was actively supporting the German war machine with everything from training and training areas to raw materials. No other country was before the invasion of Poland.
They also forget a short time before the Poles had taken a pat of Czechoslovakia before Hitler did, they like being selective with their history.
The Germans took western Poland, the Soviets the eastern side. That's a fact. That's two ALLIES, carving up a nation.
Of course, it's simply not true. All European (and not only European) countries have been trading with Germany. It was responsibility of England and France to prevent the ressurection of Germany's military machine and they failed it. Highly likely because they did see Germany as a ram against Soviet Russia.
It's plain lie. The Soviets didn't take "eastern Poland". The Soviets liberated "Western Ukraine and Western Belarus".
First, this "nation" was already dead at the moment of September 17, 1939 (say nothing that that geographical nonsense should not exist at all). We just saved what was possible to save. Second, Poland in 1938 commited an act of aggression against Soviet ally - Czechoslovakia, and, therefore, cancelled Soviet-Polish non-aggresion pact.
That's what i said, the Soviets secured their Western border before the Nazis crossed it.
they invaded a sovereign country, Poland.
To prevent the Germans from taking all of Poland up to their border, i told you all this but you seem to be stuck in some alternative History, operation Barbarossa was launched not all that long after so if the Germans had two million plus troops in Eastern Poland you can imagine the result.
No, it was pre-arranged, the Soviets signed the agreement and Germany let them have that part of Poland retard.
Why didn't the west sign a agreement with the Soviets against the Nazis as they asked for? because they were hoping Hitler would attack the Soviet Union before Europe.
The nazis should have taken over all of Poland. Right?
Of course he would then it would have been easier to attacked the soviet Union.
Because no one trusted Stalin.
The Soviets aided Germany. They AGREED before the invasion to attack Poland too.
Well they got Hitler and WW2.
the choice would have been Stalin and WW2. There wasn't any real difference between the two. Both were merciless tyrants that intended to conquer Europe.
What evidence do you have that Stalin wanted to conquer Europe?
