Yes, no doubt both countries had their fingers crossed when it was signed and Hitler broke it when he wanted to, but it allowed them to divide up Poland and allowed Germany to take out France and almost Great Britain too. And then 2 obvious enemies, Russia and the US, became allies for the rest of the war.
All true, but reports from the border skirmishes between these two suggest they were particularly vicious.
