Hitler only drives to the East

Sorry about that, I had some problems with home related...

Anyway Germany has the capacity to change it's ideas and it's understanding. Keeping all that aside, Germany will need to keep her face fresh and that does mean keeping Hitler's eye on the ball. Once Germany has dealt with the West in a proper fashion and made sure that they don't break all their promises, they can then starting building up their alliance.

Eastern Europe will take an interest in joining Germany in taking on Russia if Germany offers technological and financial incentives. Once certain countries "co-operate" with Germany, the alliance can form and then they can plan their crusade against Russia.

Germany will have a strong army ready for the time when she invades Russia. I know she will use a partially mechanized force to take on the Russians but I am unsure on what tanks and weapons she will use. When she invades Russia, she will have a massive force to back her and she will have allies.

What technology will be driven to be used in this war and how could it be used to affect the enemy ? (For both sides of the conflict )

I really think in order for that to happen you need to butterfly away Hitler and most, if not all, of the premier Nazi leadership. Such an action will change WWII to the point where it's very different from OTL.

Poland was pretty much already in an alliance with GB and France. For the heavily militarised Germany to have allied with Poland, it would be ASB. This will completely reverse the alliance structure for WW2, with France and GB allowing Germany to invade the Soviet Union. With the ideals of Hitler and the anti-semitism fervent in the German nation such acts would have sent the allies into war against Germany even if they didn't invade Poland when Germany invades the Soviet Union through its allied nations. Besides Poland being a Germany ally is a horrendous thought for the Eastern European countries (besides Spain) and for the Polish people themselves.
 
For some countries that border the Soviet Union, a german libertion means land.
OK. Let's try to understand that Poland would not view alliance with Germany as Liberation. There is a lot of history where Poland was occupied, in part, by Germany.

Poland already has what it wants from the Soviet Union. Here's the lowdown on the peace arrangement:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_of_Riga

The Poles rejected taking a larger slice of the Soviet Union. Why would they change their minds now? And you do recognize that Germany essentially claimed all territory that is or was ever German, which includes Danzig--which is highly antagonistic to Poland.

Germany is looking for Polish help ITTL at the same time as trying to rip out its vital port connections. In simple terms, Poland will not help a country with designs on its borders and Poland has little choice but to play both sides against the middle.

So, Poland will decline expanding its territory into Russia. And it will not want to compromise its long term security with short term financial incentives.
 
What if Germany invades Poland in 1938, instead of Checoslovaquia? Before there are any western garanties? Then he has a border with the USSR and no war in the west.
 
My point with this is that Germany insteed of the gun-hoo Germany controls all, and we kill all the jews crap.

Insteed we have a Germany who with alliances with her Western Neighbours goes on a Anti-Communist Crusaide etc.

How is that??

Furthermore, as other posters have pointed out, Poland was between a rock and a hard place in the 1920s and 1930s. It was sandwiched between Germany and the SU, two powers that it knew explicitly wanted to segment or destroy the country. Unless you create a vast change in Polish leadership, they would know that if they help the Germans against the Russians they would be the next victim.

Maybe the thick-skulled Polish leadership should have cut their nationalist dope and faced the harsh geopolitical reality, there was a quite viable long-term place in Europe for a Polish homeland that was contained into Congress Poland and played the satellite/cowed Finlandized neighbor of either Germany or Russia. There was none for the 1919-21 foolish attempt to recreate the Kingdom of Poland, it was the accidental effect of a rare and fleeting fluke of history (both Germany and Russia helpless at the same time). The inevitable recovery of both neighboring Great Powers made mad clinging to all of the Versailles-Riga booty a written permanent invitation to another partition, no matter how hard Warshaw bootlicked Paris. In 1939, they reaped what they sought in 1919-21, and the existence and Hitler and Stalin only gave the inevitable reckoning all the frillies of genocidal totalitarianism, but it would have happened nonetheless sooner or later, no matter the leadership in Berlin and Moscow, mayheap with much less overall suffering for civilians.
