  I read somewhere that the reason Churchill became prime minister was because when we was the Foreign Minister, he never trusted Hitler from the beginning. He knew that Hitler was known to break agreements and thus could not be trusted, while the rest of the British parliament ignored him and believed that Hitler won’t do anything if he’s not provoked.

  It was only after Germany invaded Poland that the British parliament finally believed him and he rode that support to become prime minister.

  Tbh it was more “that guy is definitely gonna invade me but totally not any time soon haha, we still have a few more years surely” up until the point of invasion. The soviets very much understood that the Nazis had every intention to invade them, you can tell by all the prep work they did and the many members of the politbureau who said as much. Stalin just thought they had more time.
