How did this happen?

This is so weird. I have never seen the like in all my HOI games.

The Soviets attacked Poland. Poland joined the Allies and now the SU is at war with the Allies. Then Germany attacked Poland, and was at war with the Allies. Germany worked its way down its focus tree, and declared war robotically as the CBs came up, the way it usually does.

Anyway, here's the thing. France fell, and suddenly the Soviets occupy Paris and a large part of Northern France. They didn't have a single division in this fight. How did it happen?

And also, how historically realistic is this? Hitler handing Paris, or any part of Western Europe to Stalin? Churchill and co. perhaps... but Hitler? The guy who stuck communists in concentration camps?

You've encountered a result of the wonky surrender mechanics. @TheMeInTeam did a topic on it a bit back

Historically realistic - absolutely none, including the democracies, who would rather have fought alone than handed Stalin anything beyond the Rhine.

Nearly identical to the time I had France cap to USSR when I was the only one with troops on French soil. Wrong-capitulation is common in this game.

Well, that was unexpected. I didn't think we'd get a comment on war crimes in a thread like this.

Go read the forum rules. Thread closed.
