My oh my, did I find some interesting...

My oh my, did I find an interesting selection of documents concerning the Nazi/Soviet pact involving Poland.

The Stalinists in 1939 represented the rape of Poland in the following way: Hitler attacked Poland; Russia became frightened by this act which brought the Nazi army nearer its borders, and therefore marched in its turn to meet the German "enemy" half-way; this prevented Hitler from taking all of Poland and also erected a buffer for the defense of the Soviet workers’ fatherland.

We shall now see not only the truth behind this lie but also how the lie itself was manufactured to specifications.

As far back as July 26 Astakhov, bidding for the pact, offered Danzig and the Corridor on a platter:

As to Poland, he [Astakhov] stated that Danzig would return to the Reich in one way or another and that the Corridor question would have to be solved somehow in favor of the Reich
　
See:

Ricky Saunders: Inside the Stalin-Hitler Deal (February 1948)

Read the entire thing, that section (4) is in the early portion and there are also documents concerning the British/French approaches to Stalin in their own attempts to contain Hitler and Nazism with a pact between they and the USSR.

 

Great read thanks .

 

since they had signed a non-aggression pact or wereabout to, who and what nation was this designed to impress?
