Answer:

Below

Step-by-step explanation:

Despite the mutual non-aggression pact, the Soviets and the Germans were not on good terms. The Nazis were against the spread of communism, and the Soviets were against Nazi ideologies. During 1939, both of these nations had their reasons for staying neutral, but once those reasons were gone, it was only a matter of time before they clashed with each other. Even while fighting in France, Hitler had his doubts about Stalin and stationed some reserve troops on the Eastern border.
