In 1941, during the build-up to Germany's attack upon the Soviet Union (which took place on June 22nd), various troop movements on both sides of the border took place. The Soviet Union, however, was extremely careful to avoid any massing of troops adjacent to the border for fear of provoking a violent German reaction. Thus, most of their troops were kept far from the front lines, and Germany had no cause to make official or unofficial complaints of any kind on this count. Nor, in fact, did Germany make any formal declaration of war before, during, or immediately after their surprise-attack.

Yes, he did. The Hessian’s were German mercenaries and he reached out to Czarina Catherine of Russia for troops, but she declined.
It didn't. On 1 September 1939, it was invaded by German troops on its western border and later by Soviet troops from the east.

The Russian troops mobilized to the Russo-german border, as Russia was involved in near war with Germany's ally, Austria-Hungary. That, along with said alliance, brought Germany into the war that would, forty years later, be called Wolrd War I.
german's provisions and weapons were destroyed by soviets troops
Russia protected Serbia because it is her traditional ally. Soo When Russia placed its troops to surround the Austrian borders they were very close to the German borders. Because Germany was led by a hectic ruler he accused Russia of planning to attack Germany and in addition Germany and Austria are traditional allies and therefore Germany had to step down and protect itself.

Austria-Hungary issued an ultimatum to Serbia to fix the damage. The demands were harsh. Russia stepped into the conflict to help Serbia. Fearing an attack from Austria's ally Germany, Russia began to mobilize troops to the Russo-German border. Germany took it as a threat and responded with a declaration of war and an inavsion of Belgium. World War I had its start.
During World War II itself, German troops crossed the borders into numerous countries, both in Western Europe and in Eastern Europe (not to overlook their North African campaign). Perhaps the most significant border-crossings occurred in September of 1939, when the war began after Germany violated the Polish border, and in June of 1941, when Germany crossed the border of their "ally," the Soviet Union, and thereby ensured their ultimate defeat in the war.

Germany did not start World War I. They only declared war on Russia because Russia mobilized troops toward the German border because Russia got involved in a territorial dispute between Austria, Germany's ally, and Serbia. Germany most likely would have ignored a fight between the monstrous Austria and little, tiny Serbia, but Russia made a threatening move on Germany which the couldn't ignore. Germany invaded France, but France had already declared war on Germany after Germany went to war with Russia, France's ally. During a war between to nations with a border, one is bound to invade the other and Germany made the first move. There isn't really an excuse for Germany's invasion of Belgium, so if it is mentioned in the debate, I'd suggest BSing an answer and moving on quickly.
