Germany was seeking a truce with Britain after the fall of France. They even imagined they could ally with them against the Soviets.

I always thought the Germans messed that entire scenario up. They could have done nothing, let the Soviets invade Poland (which I believe they knew was going to happen) and been like "We will save you Poland!" and attacked the Soviet Union. Everyone in the West would have been like "Eh, have at it." And Germany would have had a one front war.
