    *The joint Soviet-Nazi invasion of Poland

    I have a compulsion to remind people that the Soviets weren’t the good guys in WWII that they loved to pretend to be.

      They were the good guys, but just because the really bad guys went back on the deal to be bad guys together.

        Are you really a good guy just because the bad guy you were dealing with turned out to be a bad guy?

    so this happened.

    Don’t whitewash history.

    Nazi Germany and the USSR made plans to invade and partition Poland, and then they followed through on those plans.

    Stalin and Hitler were allies right up until Hitler backstabbed Stalin with Operation Barbarossa.
