Nazi Soviet Relations, 1939-1941: Documents From The Archives Of The German Foreign Office is a historical book written by Raymond James Sontag, which offers a comprehensive account of the diplomatic relations between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union during the period between 1939 and 1941. The book is based on the original documents from the archives of the German Foreign Office, which were declassified after the end of the Second World War.The book explores the complex and often tumultuous relationship between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, which began with the signing of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact in August 1939. The pact was a non-aggression treaty between the two countries, which also included secret protocols that divided Eastern Europe into spheres of influence for both countries.The book analyzes the factors that led to the signing of the pact, including the geopolitical ambitions of both countries, their mutual distrust of the Western powers, and the perceived threat of a two-front war. It also examines the impact of the pact on the course of the Second World War, including the invasion of Poland, the Winter War between the Soviet Union and Finland, and the eventual German invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941.The book provides a detailed analysis of the diplomatic exchanges between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union during this period, including the negotiations leading up to the signing of the pact, the discussions over the implementation of the secret protocols, and the subsequent breakdown of the relationship between the two countries.Overall, Nazi Soviet Relations, 1939-1941: Documents From The Archives Of The German Foreign Office is a valuable resource for historians, scholars, and anyone interested in understanding the complex and often contentious relationship between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union during the Second World War.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
