What if Hitler had secretly asked Stalin to attack Poland at the same time as him, and then decided to not attack, demand that Stalin get out of Eastern Poland within two days and nights, and if he refused decided to attack him? (the reason given to the West, being to "rescue the Poles from the Soviet Union.") In this timeline he tells his forces not to shoot Poles unless they open fire on German troops, and not to hurt Jews (at least, not in public, the odd secret mini-pogrom might happen). He tells the Polish leaders publicly that he is coming to help them.
Does it work out like Hitler hopes?
Does Stalin withdraw as soon as he is double-crossed, denying Hitler his chance for war, and furious with Nazi Germany?
Do the Poles attack both sides and end up curbstomped like in OTL?
Does Stalin not take the bait and send messages to Hitler saying that he must attack first before the Red Army will move?
Does the West declare war on Hitler anyway?
