>> That before NAZI came to power, Germany was developing its’ military power for 10 years already? >> And if USSR wasn’t ignoring Treaty of Verseilles, Germany wouldn’t be so powerful in 1939? ================================ Right. Most probably whould not be so powerfull. But please remember again that Weimar republic and Nazi Germany are two distinctivly different countries politicaly.

>> And what about parade on those pictures? ================================ Yes, the so called parade. IMHO, this is a silly point to keep talking about. Objectively Germany and USSR were rivals/enemies in 1939. It is true that they made a deal but it was not the first time in history. It is very normal historical artefact. It does not mean it as morally justifiable.
I have seen those pictures. IMHO it is not very obvious that there was a parade where 2 forces were marching together. Maybe but there are also plenty questions can be asked.
The point is that even if there was a reall parade, it would not be a big deal concidering the scale of the rest of the events (invasion of Poland or reunification of the people if you wish :o) ).
>> p.s. How far could you go to justify Soviet regime? ================================ Are we trying to get personal, are not we? ;o)
"...Yes, forbidden for Germany..." The Russians offered Germany facilities for building and testing these arms, forbidden by the Treaty of Verseilles, deep inside Russia, well away from inspectors' eyes
"...But please remember again that Weimar republic and Nazi Germany are two distinctivly different countries politicaly..." Russia lead by Yeltsyn and Russia lead by Putin - are two different countries? ((((((: Different political leadership doesn’t mean different countries.
