    They invaded at the same time. That’s what “alongside” means here.

    The alternative was for the nazis to roll all the way across poland — the only barrier between nazi germany and the soviet union — and subject the entire country to the holocaust instead of half of it, at a moment when the polish government had already fled and the country was not capable of repelling the nazis.

      Man what a dumb take - they wanted a barrier from the nazis so decided to move their border closer.

      So when they rounded up and murdered the polish intelligentsia, that was to stop the nazis yeah?
