When von Ribbentrop had gone to Moscow, Hitler had sent along his personal photographer, Heinrich Hoffman, to record the event and to bring back a photographic record of Stalin’s earlobes—if they hung loose from his head, then he was Aryan, but if they were attached, Stalin must be a Jew. Hoffman returned with close-ups that assured Hitler that Stalin’s earlobes were unattached—and that therefore, in Hitler’s eyes Stalin was a worthy partner, at least for the time being. https://www.thedailybeast.com/adolf-hitler-and-joseph-stalin-cut-a-deal-80-years-ago-this-week-that-triggered-world-war-ii
Stalin sacked Litvinov on May 3. He was arrested by the NKVD, his phones cut, his office locked, his aides interrogated. Too prominent in the West to be summarily executed, he was dispatched to Washington, D.C., as ambassador, and Stalin replaced him as foreign secretary with his most loyal protégé, Vyacheslav Molotov.
Литвинова назначили послом в США только в октябре 1941. В описываемый период послом стал Уманский.

Насколько я помню, немецкая копия секретного протокола к Пакту попала в британские руки в 1945 году, но Черчилль решил не публиковать их, чтобы не сердить СССР, но в 1946 потерявшая терпение Британия всё же опубликовала тот сборник немецких документов, на который мы сразу же ответили «Фальсификаторами истории». То есть, в 1945 году Риббентроп на скамье подсудимых мог, конечно, что-то признавать, но вот давали ли этому признанию ход для общественного обсуждения? А так-то американцы получили тайком текст протокола в тот же день, 23 августа 1939 года.
>> Within months, 50 million more people in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, and parts of Finland would be under his control.
Я встречал оценку 14 миллионов. Также «Would be» - значит без Литвы.
американцы получили тайком текст протокола в тот же день
Говорится, что американцы не делились им с англичанами вплоть до 1 сентября.
Even before von Ribbentrop returned to Berlin, an aide, Hans von Herwarth, quite upset over the secret protocol, gave a copy to his friend Chip Bohlen, then serving in the American embassy in Moscow. Bohlen reported this quickly to President Franklin D. Roosevelt, but the U.S. did not share the information with Great Britain or France prior to Sept. 1, 1939.
Во время сотрудничества, налаженного в ходе холодной войны, такое было бы наверное невозможно.
В 1940 британская разведка развернулa в США массовую операцию пропаганды с целью склонить общественное мнение в пользу вступления в войну.
BSC was set up by a Canadian entrepreneur called William Stephenson, working on behalf of the British Secret Intelligence Services (SIS). An office was opened in the Rockefeller Centre in Manhattan with the discreet compliance of Roosevelt and J Edgar Hoover of the FBI. But nobody on the American side of the fence knew what BSC's full agenda was nor, indeed, what would be the massive scale of its operations. What eventually occurred as 1940 became 1941 was that BSC became a huge secret agency of nationwide news manipulation and black propaganda. Pro-British and anti-German stories were planted in American newspapers and broadcast on American radio stations, and simultaneously a campaign of harassment and denigration was set in motion against those organisations perceived to be pro-Nazi or virulently isolationist (such as the notoriously anti-British America First Committee - it had more than a million paid-up members). https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2006/aug/19/military.secondworldwar
