Many countries promoted the increase of military potential of Germany. The volume of German-Soviet trade was simply insignificant in 1933-1939 in comparison with the German-American trade. The Versailles restrictions of German armament have been cancelled by Britain de facto in 1934...

Putting the POV article aside, the title is strange. Soviet-German cooperation also included the Soviet relationship with East Germany, with West Germany and even with the unified Germany as they merged before the Soviet collapse. -- Irpen 18:39, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
Why do you always have to be combative Constanz? How about neutral and descriptive Soviet-German relations between the World Wars? -- Irpen 20:49, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
I'd suggest creating an article on German-Russian relations, coverign foreign relations between those countries. The 1930s-1941 section can be split off to Soviet-Nazi relations. Basically, but changing cooperations for relations, I think this POV problem can be settled.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk 23:11, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
In the article, we find the assertion: "Three-eighths of the oil used by Germany in 1940 came from the Soviet Union including high-octane spirit for the Luftwaffe to fight the Battle of Britain."
Although this section of the article (unlike several others) is footnoted, no source is cited for this sentence. I have not been able to find any source elsewhere. Can someone provide a reference to the source for this information"

Colchicum, did you see this article in Russian WP? It includes a lot of interesting information that was not included here. Biophys 22:11, 21 August 2007 (UTC) I mean "Kama", "Tomka", "Lipetsk" and economic relations. Biophys 22:14, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
The phrase "which led to their illegal intervention on the monarchist side in the Russian Civil War." seems non-neutral POV, although I claim no scholarship in Russian history. What is the basis for declaring that foreign assistance in a civil war is "illegal" - in this instance or in general? Was French aid to George Washington "illegal" - or does it only become illegal if the country supported the side that loses? Removing "illegal" or perhaps replacing it with "failed ", "unsuccessful" or "futile" would be more neutral POV. StreamingRadioGuide 08:43, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Several sources make notion that Katyn was coordinated with Gestapo. It should be briefly included in the article. -- Molobo ( talk) 15:22, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
Oh there is an open document about joint fight against Polish resistance by Nazi Germany and Soviet Union [1]. The bottom line however is that calls from Polish Foreign Ministry and scholary work on the subject is notable enough to be mentioned.-- Molobo ( talk) 19:33, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
In 1937, the last Soviet ambassador to Germany of Jewish origin, Yakov Surits, was replaced by an ethnic Russian.
Not so "parochial" that Hitler didn't get Stalin to agree to supply war material and transmit radio signals to support the Luftwaffe invasion of Poland, getting WWII off to a rousing start. Let's dispense with the judgemental opinions of Hitler's opinions. — PētersV ( talk) 22:54, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Article doesn't mention the Spanish Civil War. Should be pointed out considering the Soviet Union directly supported the Republic fighters and Nazi Germany supported the Nationalists by way of arms and vehicles. User:n/a 04:03, 29 March 2009 (PST)
The article doesn't mention the mission of Rudolph Hess in Scotland. Hitler's offers to Great Britain for peace and the information on next war against Soviet Union.-- Deguef ( talk) 16:53, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
- Hitler was planning war against Soviet Union and, according the views of some authors, was ready to pay a price for peace on reasonable terms with Great Britain in order to concentrate resources and efforts and to have free hands on the coming eastern front. According to these sources, the father of the idea of peace with GB was undobtedly Hess, but Hitler accepted this idea and gave his OK to Hess's mission. This could perhaps be the most acceptable version of the mission. Otherway it would be very difficult to explain the life sentence given to Rudolph Hess at Nuremberg. According to Piknett, Prince & Prior, the peace talks were not at the beginning, but in the final stage at the moment of the mission. -- Deguef ( talk) 17:47, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
The section "World War II : August tensions" states:
Ribbentrop wrote a letter promising Stalin that "in the opinion of the Fuhrer … it appears to be the historical mission of the Four Powers — the Soviet Union, Italy, Japan and Germany — to adopt a long range-policy and to direct the future development of their peoples into the right channels by delimitation of their interests in a worldwide scale."
The immediately following section, "World War II : Soviet negotiations regarding joining the Axis", states:
After Germany entered a Tripartite Pact with Japan and Italy, in October 1940, Ribbentrop wrote to Stalin about "the historical mission of the Four Powers -- the Soviet Union, Italy, Japan and Germany -- to adopt a long range-policy and to direct the future development of their peoples into the right channels by delimitation of their interests in a worldwide scale."
Thus, the first passage implies that the letter dates to August 1940, whereas the second passage dates it to October 1940. Which is correct?
Both passages cite the same source: Philbin III, 1994, pages 49-50.

Many people may not know this but the Soviet Union was a great friend of Nazi Germany. The Soviet Union actually sent aid and supply's for Hitler to invade and capture England. They did everything the could to keep Hitler as a friend. They even captured Poland together and divided it up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.102.141.170 ( talk) 11:27, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
