Wiki:
On 1 September, barely a week after the pact had been signed,
Germany invaded Poland. The Soviet Union
invaded Poland from the east on 17 September and on 28 September signed a
secret treaty with Nazi Germany to coordinate fighting against the
Polish resistance. The Soviets targeted intelligence, entrepreneurs and officers with mass arrests, with many victims sent to the
Gulag in Siberia, committing a string of atrocities that culminated in the
Katyn massacre.
[155] Soon after the invasion of Poland, the Soviet Union
occupied the Baltic countries of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania,[

[92][156] and annexed
Bessarabia and
Northern Bukovina from Romania. The Soviet Union attacked Finland on 30 November 1939, which started the
Winter War.[

[127] Finnish defenses prevented an all-out invasion, resulting in an
interim peace, but Finland was forced to cede strategically important border areas near
Leningrad.
The Soviet Union provided material support to Germany in the war effort against Western Europe through a pair of commercial agreements,
the first in 1939 and
the second in 1940, which involved exports of raw materials (
phosphates,
chromium and
iron ore,
mineral oil, grain, cotton, and rubber). These and other export goods transported through Soviet and occupied Polish territories allowed Germany to circumvent the British naval blockade. In October and November 1940,
German–Soviet talks about the potential of joining the Axis took place in Berlin.
[157][158] Joseph Stalin later personally countered with a separate proposal in a letter on 25 November that contained several secret protocols, including that "the area south of
Batum and
Baku in the general direction of the
Persian Gulf is recognized as the center of aspirations of the Soviet Union", referring to an area approximating present day Iraq and Iran, and a Soviet claim to Bulgaria.
[158][159] Hitler never responded to Stalin's letter.[160][161] Shortly thereafter, Hitler issued a secret directive on the invasion of the Soviet Union.
[159][162] Reasons included the Nazi ideologies of
Lebensraum and
Heim ins Reich[163]
