Hitler was a sworn enemy of communism. Considering this, why did he make the Nazi-Soviet Pact with Stalin? Why did he decide to nullify it?

Question

anonymous · Answer

He wanted to keep the Soviets at bay while he went on to wage war in Western Europe and was able to do that by agreeing to split up Poland -- something none of the Western powers would think of doing. Eventually, he was going to turn against them. Hitler had long planned an attack against the Soviets and the pact was only there to buy time in the end, something that Stalin failed to see.
