It seems it was a mistake. They've changed the paragraph to:

World War II reached what is now Ukraine in 1939 with a Soviet invasion into territory then controlled by Poland in western Ukraine, at a time when the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany were in a military alliance. When that pact broke down in 1941, Germany attacked Ukraine from west to east.

As the invasion began, factions of pro-independence Ukrainians fought with the Germans, while other Ukrainians fought with the Red Army against the Nazis. The tide of war changed in 1943 with the German defeat at the Battle of Stalingrad, and the Red Army then fought the Nazis in Ukraine moving westward.

Was fun while it lasted I suppose. I wonder who those "pro-independence" Ukrainians were.

I am sure that antisocialists won’t mind if I classify Britain, France, Fascist Italy, and the German Reich as all being allies.

They’ll understand.
