Does anyone here NOT know what happened on June 22, 1941? [View all]

Cartoonists had a lot of fun with the "non-aggression pact" (1939-1941). One cartoon showed a wedding with Hitler as the groom and Stalin as the blushing bride. Another showed them walking together, each smiling and holding a knife behind his back. Which one would stab the other first?
