What if the policy of appeasement continued on to include Poland?

As a possible POD, the west learns of how Germany and Russia are going to divide the country. Some think "That's great eventually Germany & Russia will turn on each other and we can sit back while they destroy each other while others fear coming to Poland's defense will lead to a war of France & England Versus Nazi Germany & the Soviet Union. But, whatever the POD,the west lets Poland go the way of Czechoslovakia.

What happens next? Germany starts looking at another neighbor they can gobble up without a fight? Start trouble in Alsace Lorraine?

If the Nazis try to take some more land how does World War II starting 6 months later effect the outcome?

An earlier Barbarossa perhaps? Maybe Germany uses the Winter War as a reason to start Barbarossa as that would put them in a better light in the many of the world's views.

Can Germany beat the USSR without a western front to deal with?

If Germany and the USSR slug it out for a while, when would be the best time for the west to intervene?
