    It marked the withdrawal of German troops to the demarcation line secretly agreed to in the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, and the handover of the city and its fortress to the Soviet Red Army.

    You do realize non-aggression treaties are not the same as being allies, right? And it was broken only 2 years later. And a condition of the pact was for the nazis to withdraw from the area?

    Also there’s the fact that you’re using fucking Wikipedia as a source. How pathetic.

      At this point I guess we’re both using fucking Wikipedia. My bad, I must have selected the wrong version. I’ll try to link to regular Wikipedia next time! :) Meanwhile, no need to be hostile.

      Seriously, though - I think the Sources section in Wiki is plenty rich if you want to go and dig deeper or challenge the factuality of the wiki article itself (which I don’t think you are, but again, correct me).

      You are introducing the term “allies” to the discussion, so feel free to define it as you will. Soviets did invade Poland in 1939, and we remember how they treated Warsaw Uprising, what they did in Katyń, and what they did to people who fought for Polish independence. It was really nothing new vs. what pre-Soviet Russia was doing to us.

      I need to go get some sleep, goodnight everyone.
