Go watch video from join parade that they made in the middle of Poland: Brest 23 september 1939.
You gonna see that your view of Germany as old Russian foe is far from truth... didn't they got half of the Europe thx to that deal that they made with Germany in Moscow one week before WW2 started? This whole war is to return to that olf deal->territory...
quote from wikipedia:
"The Kama tank school (German: Panzerschule Kama) was a secret training school for tank commanders operated by the German Reichswehr near Kazan, Soviet Union. It operated from 1929 to 1933. The school was established in order to allow the German military to circumvent the military restrictions on tank research spelled out in the Treaty of Versailles. Apart from Kama, for the same reason Germany also operated the Lipetsk fighter-pilot school (1926–33) and a gas warfare facility, Gas-Testgelände Tomka (1928–31)."
After 1933 there was no need for secret schools in USSR because Germany stoped pretending that they folowing Versailles treaty.
Also most of the "winter won with Germany" is complete bs. invented to explain why German logistic failed without mentioning the biggest underground army of WW2->Polish underground.

"The Trial of the Sixteen (Polish: Proces szesnastu) was a staged trial of 16 leaders of the Polish Underground State held by the Soviet authorities in Moscow in 1945. (...)
After several months of brutal interrogation and torture they were presented with the forged accusations of:
Collaboration with Nazi Germany
Carrying-out intelligence gathering and sabotage at the rear of the Red Army
State terrorism
Planning a military alliance with Nazi Germany
Owning a radio transmitter, printing machines and weapons
Propaganda against the Soviet Union
Membership in underground organisations.(...)
Immediately after the arrest of all the leaders, the Polish government in exile sent a protest note to Washington and London demanding their release. At first the Soviets declared that the whole case was a bluff by the "Fascist Polish government". When they finally admitted that the leaders had been arrested (on 5 May), the American envoy of Harry S. Truman, Harry Lloyd Hopkins, was told by Joseph Stalin that "there is no point in linking the case of the Trial of the Sixteen with the support for the Soviet-backed government of Poland because the sentences will not be high." Both British and American governments shared this view. "
And that last sentence is a hint why that BS about winter is so popular not only in Russia but also in the West...
