Yes, a Yankee soldier and a union soldier fought on the same side in the American Civil War (1861-65). The term "Yankee" was used by southerners to denote someone from the north, or the union. In this case, "Union" and "Yankee" mean the same thing. Nobody knows why the South ever came up with that term, though.

What was a Yankee soldier?
A Yankee, soldier or civilian, was, as far as I can tell, simply someone from the North. A Rebel or "Johnny Reb" was Southern or Confederate. I read something the other day, don't recall where (may have even been this site!): To the rest of the world an American is a Yankee;To a Southerner someone from the North is a Yankee; to a Northerner someone from New England is a Yankee... I think there was more, but that is all I can recall. As far as different kinds of Yankee (or Union or Northern) soldiers goes, I think they had the same variety of soldiers as any military force. Cavalry, Infantry, etc. The only thing I can think of that might have been different would be if there were other types of soldiers based on the type of warfare employed during that era. For example, there were Zoauve units (don't know much about them, not even sure I spelled that right:)), guerrilla units and bushwhackers -which I doubt you could really classify as soldiers. The North was divided into different units according to their states, many immigrants joined up as they came to this country, and there were also (eventually) units of freedmen. Interesting bit - it seems that the north fought to free the slaves, however, they didn't welcome them with open arms and didn't want to fight side by side. Change takes time, though.

Did Germany have to fight the Russians in Poland before attacking soviet territory?
In June of 1941, during World War II, when Germany broke its treaty and attacked the Soviet Union, German forces did in fact fight Soviet troops in territory that had previously belonged to Poland. At that time, Poland no longer existed as an independent nation; however, less than two years previously, the same land now being invaded by the Germans had been annexed to the Soviet Union at Poland's expense.

Did the weapons of the US Civil War decide the outcome?
I would say no. Both sides used much the same weapons, and in many cases exactly the same. Although the Union had a technological advantage, it was slight, and not used to full effect by the conservative Union Army. For example, Northern industry had the ability to issue every Union infantryman with a Spencer repeating rifle, but it did not happen. What made the difference was the Union's ability to fight a longer war, produce more weapons, and replace its manpower losses. The Confederacy won most of the battles, but it could not compete with the Union in a protracted war unless the Union will to fight was broken. It was close a few times as the Confederacy inflicted horrible losses, but the Union just kept coming back at them until the Confederacy had almost nothing left to fight with.
