The Soviets invaded Poland 84 years ago on this day. They explained to the Poles that they had come to liberate them from the Nazis. The Polish people had no idea that this attack had been planned in collaboration with the people the Soviets were supposed to protect them from.
The Red Army waited for 16 days because they needed a reason to invade Poland and not break the non-aggression pact signed in 1932. The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact was signed a week before the Germans started WW2.
Germans also tried to convince Poles that it was the Polish Army that bombed Warsaw and that Germany hit only military targets. Does this sound familiar? Russia learned a lot from the Nazis.
Let’s go back to what happened that made Hitler believe he could enslave Europe:
▪️In 1938, Europe let Hitler occupy border areas of Czechoslovakia, hoping he would stop. Well, he didn’t. It gave him the green light for further aggression. A few months later, Germany occupied the entire country, and the next year started WW2.
▪️After a successful occupation, it started limiting people’s rights and committing genocide against the native population.
