"John Mullen" wrote in message ... "BUFDRVR" wrote in message ... Heck, prior to the outbreak of war, the Soviet Union was supplying Nazi Germany with oil. Among other things. In fact as German soliders rolled east on railway cars in preparation for BARBAROSA, Soviet rail cars were flowing west full of material for Nazi Germany. So to speak. Although, in fact they had different rail gauges so that isn't literally true.. The gauge change happened at the Russian frontier. Since the border between Nazi and Soviet territory ran through the centre of Poland it is literally the case that trains packed with Soviet material were heading West even as the Germans invaded.
