Anti-Comintern Pact
In January 1939, Moltke approached Beck, with an offer under which if Poland allowed Danzig to "go home to the "Reich"", Germany would support Poland annexing the entire Soviet Ukraine. The offer was rejected by Colonel Beck. At the same time, Moltke began to press Beck to have Poland sign the Anti-Comintern Pact, saying that Germany attached much importance to such a move, an offer that Beck also rejected. Signing the Anti-Comintern Pact was seen in Berlin as a symbolic way of a state associating with the "Reich". At the same time, the German embassy in Budapest successfully pressured Hungary into signing the Anti-Comintern Pact.
