On August 23, 1939, enemies Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union signed the Nazi-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact, in which the two countries agreed to, take no military action against each other for the next 10 years. By signing this pact, Germany had protected itself from having to fight a two-front war and the Soviet Union was awarded land, including parts of Poland and the Blatic States. Soviet leader Stalin viewed the pact as a way to keep his nation on peaceful terms with Germany, while giving him time to build up the Soviet military, while Hitler used the pact to make sure Germany was able to invade Poland unopposed. Historian Ian Kershaw notes in “Hitler: 1936–1945: Nemesis,” the German chancellor was ecstatic. He congratulated his foreign minister and said the pact “will hit like a bombshell.” Hitler had planned on invading Poland from the start as it would bring lebensraum for the German people. According to Hitler’s plan, the “racially superior” Germans would colonise territory. German expansion had begun with the annexation of Austria in 1938 and continued in 1939 with the occupation of the Sudetenland and then all of Czechoslovakia. Both…
September 1st, 1939, Germany invades Poland. Adolf Hilter gave the order to attack Poland by air and land. The air attacks included bombing Polish airfields and at sea the Germans used U-boats and warships to attack the naval forces in Poland. The land attacks had many armed forces coming into Poland and destroying the rest. “I have issued the command and I'll have anybody who utters but one word of criticism executed by firing squad–that our war aim does not consist in reaching certain lines, but in the physical destruction of the enemy. Accordingly, I have placed my death-head formations in readiness—for the present only in the East— with orders to send to death mercilessly and without compassion, men, women, and children of Polish derivation and language. Only thus shall we gain the living space that we need.” Hilter stated this quote the night before the invasion. The invasion became known as part of Hitler's “blitzkrieg” strategy to take over land and expanded Germany rule. Once the Germans invaded Poland, Hilter set up concentration camps based on religion, race, and politics. When Britain and France heard this news of the invasion in Poland, they declared war on September 4th, 1939 because Hilter broke the Munich…
