As if to paint the British/French in a poor light when it was far more complicated than you presented but at least you apparently ? now agree it was highly likely, perhaps even almost certain ? that Stalin was having discussions with Hitler at the same time as he was with the Anglo/French team...the point I sought to make....along with pointing out your oversimplification/lack of rigour in your claim.
The timing of events certainly doesn't support your claim of it being a "common myth" as you assert does it ?

The fact that the French and the British never raised ‘the talks’ between Stalin and Hitler as a reason for not going ahead with the alliance speaks volumes. They actually never brought it up, because it didn’t happen. The intelligence world would have been all over it. Stalin and Hitler did discuss the trade cooperation before August, 1939.
