Obviously the Treaty between Germany and Soviet Union facilitated the German attack on Poland a few days later. But Stalin was just to greedy to wait a couple more months and get hold of the parts of Poland he anyhow wished to integrate into the USSR.

There were more victims involved and these baltic territories and the free hand for a war with Finland led Stalin to accept a signature concerning a german-soviet partionned Poland.
