From 1922 till the Nazis came to power (1933) relations between Germany and the Soviet Union were good. At first the outcast, 'outsider' status of both countries, the fact that both were despised and hated, did much to foster mutual sympathy. Under the terms of the Treaty of Rapallo (1922) Germany became one of the first countries to recognize the Soviet Union. In secret clauses the Soviet Union allowed Germany to train and maintain a large number of soldiers on Soviet territory and in this way to avoid the provision of the Versailles Treaty that restricted the size of the German army to 100,000 men. This arrangement was ended by the Soviet Union in 1933 in view of the Nazis' rabid hostility to Bolshevism. Soviet support for the popular front in France and Spain ran counter to Nazi plans. Relations between the two countries remained poor until the summer of 1939, when the Ribbentrop-Molotov pact led to the deal that carved up much of Eastern Europe in 1939-40. Joncey

∙ 15y agoThe Soviets and Germany were allies until Hitler invaded it in 1941. Which is why Hitler declared war on the US in December 11, 1941...Hitler wanted Japan to open a second front on the Soviets by attacking in the East; since he was helping Japan fight the US by his declaration of war. Answer Before 1939, Germany and Russia did not trust each other. They formed an alliance but it was more of a truce. It was benfecial to both that they agree not to fight each other. This gave Germany time to make their moves against other countries. Then Germany violated the agreement and attack Russia without warning in 1941.
