Germany Has Their Eyes on Poland
Nazi-Soviet Pact
On August 23, 1939, representatives from Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union met and signed the Nazi-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact, which guaranteed that the two countries would not attack each other. By signing this pact, Germany had protected itself from having to fight a two-front war in the soon-to-begin World War II; the Soviet Union was awarded land, including parts of Poland and the Baltic States. The pact was broken when Nazi Germany attacked the Soviet Union less than two years later, on June 22, 1941.
Reasons for Invading Poland
1) Believes that the Polish Army will be not match for his modern army and Blitzkrieg tactics of war combined with the Luftwaffe.
2) Believes that the western powers will be slow to militarize and extremely hesitant to immediately engage in war with Germany.
