World War II began with a coordinated attack on Poland conducted by the Third Reich and the USSR
Oh? What date did this “coordinated attack” take place, and how was the coordination handled? Presuming coordinating the movements of two different armies for such a large scale operation would have required a lot of back and forth signaling and planning, all of which would have become public record when the soviet archives were opened.
Yeah, I found the an accessable copy and it doesn’t actually contain any of the things I was asking about. I’m guessing you were hoping nobody would check?
And I wasn’t asking about Soviet-German relations in general either, I was asking specifically about the communication logistics of this alleged coordinated operation
You must have linked the wrong one then, because it didn’t include any of the things I described. Feel free to provide quotes from the actual one if I’m mistaken

It’s well documented indeed. You can read more (here) if you’re interested.
I don’t have access, unfortunately, though the abstract seems to be about the political situation and doesn’t mention military organization.
They go hand-in-hand, as all wars do. I’ve had a look and it’s on Anna’s archive as well.

You sure you read the correct document?
The one I linked clearly cites soviet sources describing the USSR third reich collaborarion untill Barbarossa.

I cannot find much about Soviet-German relations in it either.
