What benefit did Hitler gain by signing a pact with Stalin?

Answer 1

The Pact Helped Hitler and Stalin as the pact was that they wouldn't go into war but they would divide Poland into two for them to share, so they were both getting half of the country Poland but thern had time to prepare for the coming war

Answer 2

Hitler 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.

Answer 3

Stalin sign the pact with Germany so he doesn't have to worried about the German attack him
