This is the dumbest thing I’ve read in a while. The Soviet Union would have been steamrolled if it hadn’t made a pact to stall for time to industrialize & militarize before the inevitable Nazi assault.
On the other hand, they wouldn’t have had a space program without the Nazi scientists…
The difference is that they only used their labor; they didn’t promote them to leadership positions throughout the Eastern Bloc.
Yes, literally the exact same thing as the Americans and a few other powers did. Along with hiding Japanese war criminals on exchange for their worthless data in torture.
Yes, literally the exact same thing as the Americans
After the war, twelve Unit 731 members were tried by the USSR in the 1949 Khabarovsk war crimes trials and sentenced to prison. However, many key figures, including Ishii, were granted immunity by the United States in exchange for their research data.
The USSR likely also handed out relatively lenient sentences at the Khabarovsk trials in exchange for information and used Japanese documentation to build its Biological Weapons facility in Sverdlovsk

You always know you’re about to read something completely wrong stated with maximum confidence when a post starts with this obnoxious redditism.
Wow, even stupider than I expected
Are you talking about operation paperclip?

What would have happened if he hadn’t signed the pact?
Just say nothing. Hitler legally cannot invade if you don’t sign a non-aggression pact with him.
