Nazi soviet non aggression pact. aug23 1939. Worked together and traded with each other. HItler didnt want to fight two sided war so signed pact with russia. Huge trade agreement with russia. Russia gave raw matterials to germany and germany gave tanks and other finished products.

Thought great brit and france wouldnt go to war because they were allies with russia now.
