    I can agree to that. The agreement was just about dividing Poland between them, with obvious hint towards coming invasion, but it doesn’t go into more details.

          Sure, after the Nazis had toppled the Polish state and the Nazis were stepping into modern Ukraine and Lithuania against the pact.

            What country were those areas part of at the time of the invasion though. Weren’t those part of Poland and didn’t Germany and Soviet Union divide the area as agreed?

              Ethnically they were Ukrainian and Lithuanian. They were governed by Poland, yes, and I never stated otherwise, but the Soviet Union and Nazis never agreed to “divide the area.” You keep pressing that by saying they implied it, but have produced no evidence for it nor why they would want to.

                Soviet Union and Nazis never agreed to “divide the area.”

                Secret protocol, article 2

                In the event of a territorial and political rearrangement of the areas belonging to the Polish state the spheres of influence of Germany and the U.S.S.R. shall be bounded approximately by the line of the rivers Narew, Vistula, and San. ’

                Also

                These aren’t implications, these are very clear cut. The “in the event of a territorial and political rearrangement” is the implied invasion. The dividing the area is just in plain language.

                    the Soviet Union and Nazis never agreed to “divide the area.”

                    It’s in reply to that.
