Japan and Germany worked together

Poland had essentially three choices:

1. Side with Hitler - Poland ends up being a battlefield of ideologies.
2. Side with the Soviets - the same, with addition to introducing communism.
3. Attempt to avoid confrontation by allying with the French and the British, hoping neither Hitler nor Soviets would dare provoke general war.

At all points the last thing they would want was to make Poland a battlefield. Beside they realized that both neighbors offered Poland only the option to become a client state.

That’s my point. Such an alliance is only possible if the Poles conclude that 3 cannot possibly work any longer, and that they're dealing with a lunatic in Berlin.
 
To get Poland to work with Hitler you need to make the other options worse. A rebuffed attempt of alliance with France (say, the French sentiment of "not dying for Danzig" is more widespread due to a stronger propaganda activity within France) or someone more crazy - or less predictable at least - than Stalin in Moscow. Trotsky with his "revolution export" ideology would work in this case - however it is doubtful that Hitler would still get to power in Germany. Even if he does, he will do so under very different circumstances (I assume that Trotsky would rather push KPD to co-opt SPD, or at least induce a split in SPD and co-opt the left wing, instead of dogmatically alienate all social democrats as KPD did under Stalin's orders).
A unified "Volksfront" resulting from this would probably still not win elections but result in a military clampdown and a Schleicher dictatorship with some pseudodemocratic fig leaves - e.g. a figurehead elected Chancellor. Hitler will remain a fringe figure or just one of the many right-wing radicals trying to influence the military junta. This may actually give you something Poland may agree to work with (albeit with one hand deftly clamped around it's figurative nose) - you have a more scary Soviet Union on one hand and a somewhat more predictable, although still nasty, Germany on the other hand.

Hitler tried for four years to achieve an alliance with Poland. It was the Poles that rebuffed Germany; they tried to maintain a strict policy of balancing relations with their two stronger neighbors as a means of maintaining independence from both.

But hitler nearly "sucessed" i believe. Pilsudski or however was his name (who was first an total enemy of hitler, even trying to bring france to attack germany), became rather close to hitler. Hitler was even on his funeral. If he didnt die, most likely they had allied. The guys after him just destroyed german polish relations again

And with short russian japanese war i ment this : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet–Japanese_border_conflicts

Absolutely not.

Hmm. Piłsudski definitely distrusted the French, and considered the Soviets to be a greater threat to his country then Germany. So yes, under the right circumstances I think it might have happened.

Hitler destroyed them. He was the one who expected the Poles to make concessions after breaking the promises he made at Munich in a spectacular way.

Damn i looked it up in the net. You are right.

"Just before his death, Piłsudski told Józef Beck that it must be Poland's policy to maintain neutral relations with Germany and keep up the Polish alliance with France, and to improve relations with the United Kingdom"

My mistake there.
So assuming they would have liked each other and just allied.. even they didnt just assume it.
