      To say they “collaborated” by using Poland as a battleground is dishonest.

      In the end that was clearly an agreement on when/where the war would begin, as Poland was somewhat Nazi-aligned (but not part of the Nazi project) and the Soviets knew it’d be better to have them as an unwilling buffer than to see them completely allied with Germany.

      Make no mistake, they sent their armies there to fight each other to the death.
