    I mean yes to the first part and to the second part I wonder what alliance you are talking about. I don’t think I’ve mentioned any alliance? It’s usually called a pact

      Your point seems to be that the Soviets wanted to invade Poland, and did so willingly with the Nazis after agreeing to do so, rather than try to stop the Nazis from taking all of Poland and doing so after watching the West do very little to stop it.

        I’m a bit confused, we are talking about the deal (the pact) they made that they did sign and respect?

          Yes, the Soviets respected the pact, they just didn’t expect it to last, and the pact didn’t include joint plans for invading Poland.

            I can agree to that. The agreement was just about dividing Poland between them, with obvious hint towards coming invasion, but it doesn’t go into more details.

                  Sure, after the Nazis had toppled the Polish state and the Nazis were stepping into modern Ukraine and Lithuania against the pact.

                    What country were those areas part of at the time of the invasion though. Weren’t those part of Poland and didn’t Germany and Soviet Union divide the area as agreed?
