During the time in Between the Shades of Gray, Ruta Sepetys describes the historical period after Hitler and Stalin signed the nonaggression pact in 1939 during World War II, which states that both countries will not attack each other nor support any country at war with the other.

The pact wasn't only a safe bubble for Hitler but also it benefited both countries by agreeing to increase trade between each other. This pact was a win-win for both countries, Germany protected itself from having to fight a two front war at the beginning of World War II and Soviet Union acquired land which included Poland and the Baltic States. However in 1941, Germany broke the treaty when they attacked the Soviet Union in less than two years of sign the pact, moreover this pack was supposed to last about ten years.

The invasion of the Soviet Union can be seen as one of Hitler’s greatest blunders. In 1941 Hitler and Stalin were in a non-aggression pact. Hitler decided to waive that pact and invade the Soviet Union in 1941 with Operation Barbarossa. Hitler’s decision to invade the Soviet Union was a great risk and ultimately led to the 3rd Reich’s downfall. The Soviet Union was a country full of vast resources and a higher population than Germany. There seems to be so many risks involved with attacking the Soviet Union. So why was the Soviet Union attacked by Germany in 1941?
