Hitler ⇒ did have his eye on Poland. → wanted to reclaim Polish corridor + city of Danzig → was confident that the Polish forces → could be defeated
Despite their threat to go to war ⇒ Hitler though that it was unlikely for Britain and France⇒ to risk war over Poland
However ⇒ he was worried ⇒ that Stalin would oppose Germany’s invasion of Poland ⇒ since Poland bordered the USSR.
if USSR ⇒ opposed Germany’s invasion ⇒ there was a possibility ⇒ that Britain and France would act. → Germany would thus risk facing a 2 front war → where it would have to fight Britain and France on the western front and the USSR on the eastern front. ⇒ would be disadvantageous for Germany
