A collection of important documents about German-Soviet relations from 1939 to 1941, translated from the original German Foreign Office documents captured by the British and American armies in 1945. Raymond James Sontag (18971972) was an American historian of European diplomacy of the 19th and 20th centuries. He was born on October 2, 1897. He received his B.S. and M.A. degrees from the University of Illinois in 1920 and 1921, and his Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1924. He was the Henry Charles Lea Professor of History and then chairman of the history department at Princeton University, 1924-1941. He then moved to the University of California at Berkeley. He served as editor-in-chief for the publication of captured German Foreign Office documents for the U.S. State Department. He was also American editor for "Nazi Soviet Relations, 19391941." He was elected to the American Philosophical Society in 1949.

Everywhere the non-Communist left found it hard to reconcile nationalism and social progress. There was increasing discontinuity as the escalating crises baffled statesmen. Due to the special interest of the period of the short, but crucial Nazi-Soviet pact between 1939-1941, the US Department of State determined that it was desirable to produce this separate documentary volume, 'Nazi-Soviet Relations, 1939-1941, Presumed First Edition, First printing thus.
