So I'm playing as Soviets with historical focus off. Poland goes down the 'Poland First' path and is thus in its own faction. I invade Poland and since it's in its own faction, no one comes to their aid. I annex my claims and puppet the rest of Poland. My armies are now lined up against the German border, and much of the German army is on the other side. I'm asked to abide by the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact to give Germany its half of Poland but I refuse. Germany then finishes 'Danzig or War', and Poland chooses to cede Danzig, so no war.
Germany then continues down the focus tree, finishing 'Around the Maginot' and 'War with France', and declares war on them. So now Germany is at war with the Allies. Germany does poorly on the Western Front, and I see the Allies pushing into Germany from the start. Note that I am NOT at war with Germany, and our non-aggression pact is still up. So after a few weeks of this, I tag switch to Germany to see what's going on - it has 50 divisions on the Western Front and 100 divisions on the Eastern Front. And so, Germany is slowly being invaded by the Allies while 100+ divisions sit on the Eastern Front. What's going on? Why doesn't Germany move its divisions to deal with the ongoing Allied threat?
Tldr: 2/3 of the Wehrmacht sits on the peaceful German/Soviet border while the Western Allies invade Germany
