I mean, the USSR was a threat, was capable of fielding monstruos armies and definitely was searching for any excuse to invade Europe. No one can deny that.
But if you observe pic related, things were going pretty well for Third Position parties in Europe. >Franco about to finish the Spanish Civil War victorious >Italy firmly in Fascist hands >Both Poland and Romania desperately looking for allies to hold the Red hordes >To the north, the Baltic sisters and Finland in a similar situation
In fact, many at the time thought that the next great confrontation would be Britain vs USSR over Iranian oil and Central Asia control. Also Turkey was exposed to the old Russian wish of conquering Constantinople.
Why didn't he allied with Poles and Romanians, and tried to get relations working again with the Turks instead of chimping out over East Prussia?
He did ally with Poles. More Polish voluntarily fought for the Wehrmacht than for the Allied forces.

I mean in a diplomatic sense, oficial allies. He did the same with Spain, supposedly the Nazis hated Franco once they got to know him well.
At least Ribbentrop said that the Hendaya talks went sour because Franco wanted to carve up French North Africa for Spain. In which I don't understand why would that be a deal breaker for the Third Reich?
Spain ended up sending 70.000 volunteers, but it was too late.
He did ally with Poland. Piłsudski and Hitler invaded Czechoslovakia together.
Hudson Thompson
It's because he was an idiot with as much foresight as and average user here.
Jace Davis
He did ally with Poland. Poland and Germany invaded Czechoslovakia, and Poland got back the land the Czechs took during the Soviet-Polish war.
Charles Bailey
Piłsudski died in 1935, Poland only played a minor role capturing a couple of cities on its border. Hungary took like half of Slovakia.
I can easily picture Hitler being a sperg like many here. Just that spergs actually saw sunlight back then. Still, he rushed with evidence on his face that it was not the best idea.

>More Polish voluntarily fought for the Wehrmacht than for the Allied forces. There was not a single division. We were never allied either.
