    World War II began with a coordinated attack on Poland conducted by the Third Reich and the USSR

    Oh? What date did this “coordinated attack” take place, and how was the coordination handled? Presuming coordinating the movements of two different armies for such a large scale operation would have required a lot of back and forth signaling and planning, all of which would have become public record when the soviet archives were opened.

      It’s well documented indeed. You can read more here if you’re interested.

        I don’t have access, unfortunately, though the abstract seems to be about the political situation and doesn’t mention military organization.

          They go hand-in-hand, as all wars do. I’ve had a look and it’s on Anna’s archive as well.
