The primary aim was to avoid hostilities between the two countries but according to a secret protocol Soviet Union and Nazi Germany divided the territory of Romania, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Finland into Nazi and Soviet 'spheres of influence'.

What was the reason Jews wore stars in World War 2?
To remove their star was to deny their faith. That was not an option!
___
There were penalties for removing the star.
___
Also, sadly, the SS at the time had rather detailed dossiers on just about everyone who frequented the synagogues for prayer, as their names were written down by the synagogue for record. A list of people who pray became a hit list. With their names already in hand, the stars pretty much became irrelevant (not to offend, just stating that it wasn't a big identifier once their names were out, etc)
The "British Freikorps" is a false name given to the "British Free Corps" and is incorrect.
The "British Free Corps" was a small unit in the "Waffen SS" made up of prisoners of war.
A detailed description and information is available on the link below.
____
The Freikorps were bands of right-wing mercenaries active in 1919-1920 and later. They fought against Communists and people they thought were Communists.
The most notorious was the Marine brigade or Ehrhardt brigade which was also rabidly anti-Jewish.
Others were "Freikorps von Oven" Freikorps Görlitz" and "Freikorps Hülsen".
Note that in 1813-14 the Freikorps fighting as units of the Prussian army against Napoleonic France were something quite different and perfectly honourable -volunteers who fought without pay and provided their own weapons. The best known was Lützow's Freikorps.
How did Jews fake their religion or identity to stay out of the camps?
Most of the Jews who left Germany did so legally in 1933-1941, having had to pay for permission to leave. In other words, it was much less of a 'cloak and dagger' matter than the question suggests. Obviously, many Jews went to countries like France, Belgium and the Netherlands which later invaded by Germany ... One of the big disadvantages of fleeing illegally is that it usually meant one didn't enter one's country of refuge legally, either. Migration was very strictly controlled in the interwar period. Since most Jews don't look like the common stereotypes, there was no need for the kind of disguise that question assumes. Obviously, those who fled illegally had the sense not to do so in specifically Jewish garb.
When Stalin agreed to a nonaggression treaty with Germany because he believed?
Not to have a fight with each other.
Why was it so easy for the Nazis to get the Germans to hate Jews?
Because the Nazi had so much power because of Hiltler and the Germans were scared not to hate the Jews.
Actually ...It wasn't that easy. Most of the German Jews were well integrated into German life till the Nazis came to power. Many Germans had dealings with Jews and found there was a huge gap between what they knew and what official propaganda claimed. The Nazi boycott of Jewish businesses in April 1933 was a fiasco, and even much later the 'Night of the Broken Glass' (November 1938) wasn't particularly popular.Having said all this, Nazi propaganda often linked the Jews with the defeat of Germany in 1918 and with Bolshevism. This resonated much more than lurid conspiracy theories.
_____________________
There was a growing resentment against Jewish refugees. Up until 1933 Poland had more antisemitic laws than Germany and the Polish Catholic clergy were encouraging antisemitism from the pulpit, as a result there were many poorer Jews arriving in Germany. With an already high unemployment it was easy for Hitler and the Nazis to say to the working/unemployed people that it was these refugees that were causing the problems.
When people went along with this they did not think that the Nazis would include those Jews who had been born or lived for a long time in Germany. (In fact Hitler himself wanted to deal with the German Jews after he had won the war).
