2) No factors changed. The whole thing was a ruse, and Stalin should have seen through it. Hitler spent most of the 1930s talking about how Germany needed "lebensraum" (living space) and how they would get it only in "the east"...meaning, Russia. He did the non-aggression pact hoping that it would cause the Soviet Union to take a less defensive posture. In the end, of course, it didn't work...but not before 25 million Russian citizens were either butchered by the Einsatzgruppen or deported to extermination camps because they were "sub-humans" (read: of the wrong "blood") or locked away in prison camps where only a very small percentage survived. Whatever you can say about Hitler, you can never legitimately claim that he didn't make his intentions quite clear very early on. Mein Kampf and his speeches spelled out exactly what his intentions were.

1) There was nothing "semi-binding" about it. Hitler and Stalin (actually, their foreign ministers Ribbentrop and Molotov) had signed a 99-year non-aggression pact, promising that neither one would attack the other. Its language was quite unambiguous.

hence me saying "SEMI" binding ... if it was a binding treaty hitler wouldnt have broke it ......
h:i think the point was simply hitler used words to lull and pull the wool on alot of people
hitler was one of the greatest orators and motivationalists (is that even a word? lol) of the time. he knew what to say and when to say it to stir the right emotions

if i had my camera at home tonight i'd show i am more than simply pulling facts from the internet ... i have yet to even use it ...
my entire library collection at home is WWII based, emphasis on the third reich. i have books and books on specific battles, books about what is referred to as hitlers pope, pope pius. i have books on hitler and teh occult. i have hitlers book mein kemph, i also have a nice lil collection of nazi era memorabilia ... coins, patches, photos, etc .... nothing worth any real value but i enjoy them. also a fair collection of historical movies on the matters.
prior to dropping out of college i was on the verge of changing to a history major and studying with an emphasis on WWII. its a VERY intriguing subject and he is someone that is very interesting to read about. especially his less demonic plans and aspirations.
