We prove the fact that in the 1933–1939 period Hitler was not considering the USSR but
France as the target for the first strike after the war was to begin. This is why signing the
German–Soviet Non-aggression Pact on August 23rd, 1939, same as other activities of
the Soviet diplomacy, had no critical effect on Hitler's choice of where to direct aggres-
sion. Published diplomatic documents became the primary source for the article.
Keywords: World War II, foreign policy, strategy, offensive plans of Nazi Germany, ap-
peasement, Collective Security, German–Soviet Non-aggression Pact
