∙ 15y agoHitler signed the pact for a few reasons: 1) Hitler needed the consent of Russia to attack Poland, and this was done by the means of the secret amendment to the pact. This amendment spelled out how Germany and Russia would interact within Eastern Europe, basically giving Germany a large portion of Poland, while Russia would be allowed to incorporate the Baltic states into her empire. 2) Germany needed money, and following WWI, it had very few places to turn in Europe to find an ally. Thus, Germany turned to Russia for resources and money. 3) By signing the pact, Hitler was able to drain resources from Russia for his own war effort, which enabled him to build up the German army, while at the same time weakening the unprepared Russian army. For Germany, signing the pact was a no brainer, as it made it's (fascism) natural political enemy (communism/socialism) it's new counterpart in a move that shocked the world. Furthermore, without Russia, Germany would have had a difficult time waging war, as the allied powers (initially France and England) were half-heartedly trying to sign Russia to a pact. Had Russia of aligned itself with England and France, it could be argued that WWII may have never happened because Germany could not have been to handle a prepared Russian army; let alone a Russian army supported by a British Navy.

Why did Adolf Hitler try to over throw the government?
The objective of the UK and US was actually to capture Hitler, not kill him. Had they gotten to Berlin first, Hitler would have been captured, tried, and still likely executed. The Soviet Union, being led by Stalin, became headhunters. The Soviet Union had sustained over 20 million casualties from the war, and they were vengeful. All in all, the reason was because Hitler had started the war, and committed wartime atrocities such as the Holocaust. A group of German Army officers attempted to assassinate Hitler by planting a bomb in his wartime headquarters. The bomb exploded during a military conference but Hitler survived the blast and the conspirators were rounded up and executed -- or, in the case of Rommel (a national hero) offered a chance to commit suicide. Rommel took his own life to spare his family becoming the victims of Nazi reprisals.
