Yes. Perhaps not as quickly as he did but already before the pact with the SU was arranged Hitler had upped the propaganda against Poland that there was little chance of him backing down without losing face. Hitler was a gambler and thought the pact had guaranteed that the Allies wouldn't support Poland in the face of Poland's now inevitable demise. Though the odds would have been against him he was itching to give his new Wehrmacht its first blood.
