Hmm, I think it's because they have similar ideology and similar hairstyle.DarkReborn said:

The Nuremberg Rally
March 1938
On March 1st 1938 - March 5th 1938 the Nuremberg rallies had been set up. Their goal was to create the biggest gathering of communists from around the globe. The scale of the rallies were so large many were crushed in the parades and crowds in the streets.
Turkish Communists
Russian Communists
The Rallies were highly important. All communist leaders, exiled or fighting met for the main goal of achieving world Communism. Under the strict control of Berlin and Moscow, of course.
Mao managed to reach the rallies, and was offered support only when the Japanese had been defeated. Then they would Establish the 3 main communist powers. China, Germany and Russia would have 3 superpowers ready to take over the globe.
But Stalin and Münzenberg themselves were already planning for a war. There was a stubborn bloc of countries that had formed between Berlin and Moscow that both of them would be happy to see vanish from the map. They begun planning for the connecting of Germany and the Soviet union.

The Churchill Doctrine
The Churchill Doctrine
Winston Churchill was not in the highest position of power, his popularity was one of utmost brilliance but he failed to gain support in elections. He came off as a wartime morale booster, more then a peacetime leader of a peacetime country. He was a inspiring leader, but could not administrate the cabinet without speeches of courage, valour and keeping communism at bay at all costs.
In May 1938, Neville Chamberlin set him up as the Head of the new Anti-Comintern Organisation of Britain (ACOB). As a opening speech to the new organisation, full of Right-wingers and exiles of Russia, Germany and Spain also were there.
"A bloody sunset is rising in the East. The further you go, into this burning dawn, the more the tyranny of the system becomes clear. This sunset shines over many of the old great capitals of the world. Berlin. Madrid. Moscow. All now have fallen, and the red stain spreads into Italy and the Balkans, threatening all those who oppose it and those who wish to promote democracy and it's ideals.
Myself, as one man, wanted to end this decades ago. A plan to, strangle the Soviet infant in it's cradle, if you will. But, we were let down of course. Britain and France, the great French republic, shall never bow down or allow this red stain to spread over our maps and our parchment, ruining and staining the text of generations of old! Never shall we allow this horror to ever touch our shores! And that is what we are going to try to do. That is the Supreme decision of this organisation. And so, I have myself full confidence that we will achieve this goal, with our united strength."

The Churchill doctrine was in place. It was the plan to contain any spread of communism where possible, the goal of the western allies was to aid, by military or material means, any country with a large communist presence. Churchill now had a highly respected spot in the country, and would use this perhaps as a weapon to claw his way up the cabinet into the top spot one day himself.

I had to make a nerve-hitting update. Nobody responded to my last one
June 20th 1938
The Polish Frontier
The Polish Frontier
Stalin did not wish to attack Poland so soon, but trade sanctions and the Churchill doctrine gave Stalin no choice but to push his plan forward. It was time to remove the gap between Germany and the Soviet union and meet the communist brothers in a handshake. The plan was simple. Poland was not strong enough to face both powers alone, and with Poland already being pressured by both powers and only just surviving a communist revolution itself.
Germany would take West Poland and Memel in Lithuania. The Soviet Union would take East Poland and the rest of the Baltic states. The plan was set to be finished by August 2nd 1938. Stalin knew the plan would go undisturbed. Little hostile actions had motivated Britain or France to mobilize, meaning the German red army may be able to Waltz into Warsaw without also having to face a foe on their Western border too soon. Stalin also realized that taking Poland would result, in what could only be known as a second world war.
Field Marshall Zhukov would be leader the attack for the soviets, whilst a new aspiring new Field Marshall that had risen through the ranks as a keen supporter of the Communist ideal. His name was Erwin Rommel. German and Soviet forces combined were estimated to be over 3 Million men, a overkill on poor Poland. But most of these forces were Soviet, and the Germans were finding it difficult to field a large force, instead they were relying on their dive bombers, experienced by the Spanish civil war, to pound Poland's forces as they moved.
The Soviets welcomed pictures such as these for their state-run media. This one shows Soviet ships attacking the small Polish fleet in the Baltic sea on June 21st 1938.

The end of the Polish nation
July 29th 1939
Stalin could have skipped for joy. All targets had been met days earlier then expected. After some large but futile resistance from the Polish and Baltic armies, the Comintern had been able to defeat it's enemy. Churchill on the other hand had been furiously forcing sanctions on the Communists, but it was too late. The Soviets and Germans could live on without even marking the British Empire on the map. For this reason, (And for the French communist parties record members of membership) Churchill went to the British Prime minister, cap in hand, asking for the BEF to be sent to France.
France has been unstable for many years now. Many government cabinets lasted weeks, sometimes months. Very rarely did a single cabinet manage to last longer then a year since 1935. Even during the time Poland was being defeated, France had no standing leader. France was weak. And Stalin knew this.
Europe, for now was back into a peace. But it was not stable. France and Britain were now in what was to become known as a "Undeclared war". The British Empire was to attempt to seize any shipping heading to Germany, whilst the French navy would operate near the Straits of Istanbul to halt any soviet shipping in that direction.
