What if the Soviets take Poland during the Soviet Polish War? Would Hitler still rise to power? If he did would he still try and take Danzig? If not where would he go? West?
Highly unlikely. Theoretically possible in an infinite universe logic, but any TL with a POD in 1920 that still has Adolf come to power is one I wouldn't normally read any further.Would Hitler still rise to power?
No. For one because Danzig may not even be League of Nations Free City ITTL. More importantly, the USSR would intervene much sooner, latest at the Sudetenland Crisis. The Soviet Union at the time truly wanted to go the Collective Security route, and was rightfully pissed when Chamberlain cut a deal at Munich.If he did would he still try and take Danzig?
The only instance I can even theoretically see where Germany actually conquers something would be if the USSR abandoned any premise of collective security and actively helped German rearmament even sooner than OTL.If not where would he go? West?
Hell, they might intervene as soon as Hitler puts the KPD in prison, or when the Enabling Act passes, making Hitler's time in office quite short.
More likely London and Paris cut a deal that has the Nazis banned, the KDP re-legalized, a broad front coalition led by SPD-Zentrum left in charge of Germany and a Red Army withdrawal.When an even bigger and aggressive USSR invades germany in 1933 (or heavily supports some communist uprising),Hitler will find himself on a gigantic pile of wallied support.
there is probably still a rump Polish state? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish–Soviet_War#/media/FileBW_August_1920.png

The Bolsheviks intended to conquer the entire country, except maybe some western regions which might have been given to Germany in return for a free hand in the Balkans.
so they would have Pomerania, no Polish Corridor, and Soviets occupy eastern Romania (or all the way south) to satellite Bulgaria? or occupy all the Balkan States?
