I have a very different point of view. I think rather that Staline made his best shot with this "non-agression pact". He exclaimed himself after the signing : "I cheated Hitler !" Now, russian borders were common with german ones, and the communism was ready to conquere Europe.

Let's see his face on this picture during the signing :

In fact, Germany was only a pawn in a game to make Hitler a "big man." He didn't give a rat's patootie whether Germany lived or died. In fact he sentenced the entire nation to death at the end and only the purposeful failure of better men to execute Hitler's suicidal orders kept it from happening.

His was a fantasy world of Valhalla and all kinds of mythological mumbo jumbo where he was a foolish, psychopathic, murderous and self-crucifying god. He was an idiot. He richly deserved to die as horribly as possible. Hiding in a hole and being the instrument of his own destruction was pretty appropriate. Wish the Russians had got hold of him though. They would have known what to do with a petty criminal.

I'm sure all this is pure fantasm. No sorry, I know it.
