    What if that would have happened, do you think they would have then invaded England? or even the USA, through Alaska?

    No way that could have happened because there is as much proof that Stalin was preparing for war with Germany himself. Facism and Communism were meant to fight.

    For the sake of the question, I would say, he would have attempted to hit England again and then turn southeast towards the Persian oilfields. Because of the small German navy, no way he could invade U.S. shores.

    I have to agree with PzJgr. You can see that the Germans and Russians, were not ally material, especially into and after the Polish Campaign.

    Not a chance, the Germans hated the Russians. They had had a few incidents in poland where both sides fired at each other.

    Im not current on what transpired in Poland. All I remember was that there were tensions between the Russians and Germans. There were sopposedly incidents where they fired on each other but, that was probably because of lack of intelligence on the commanders part-not knowing what unit was where because they captured so much ground so quickly.

    The relationship could never have lasted...

    Consider:
    Two megalomaniacs at the helms of two totalitarian systems professing to be diametrically opposed to one another and both harboring designs on controlling the destiny of the world, at the same time frantically arming their respective nations in order to commence wars of conquest...

    AI! CHIHUAHUA!!!!

    Loved your response Killjoy.

    The answer to the 2nd part of your paragraph is: What do you think happened with this last Presidential election?
