In OTL Russia waited until the 17th Sept 1939 before invading Poland
My understanding was that they were awaiting the results of the Russian – Japanese “Molotov –Togo” treaty which was signed on the 16th Sept 1939 effectively securing their far Eastern Regions.
Now my question is – what if either Germany waited till the 17th Sept before invading Poland or….Russia either concluded its talks with Japan before the 1st Sept or invaded anyway and we end up with a situation where both Nations invade Poland on the same day.
Perhaps as an additional agreement of the Molotov Ribbentrop Pact?
I am interested in what you all think Britain and France have done under this situation?
Would they have declared war on both Germany and Russia – only one or the other or take a serious pause and not declare war at all?
What impact would this have on the subsequent conduct of the war etc?
