Attempting to throw off the condtions of the Treaty of Versailles began almost immediately by Hilter - before any invasion of Poland.

Germany was willing to initially ignore the treaty starting around 1933 - a little at a time - with little to no attempt at enforcement by the allies.

As the allies backed off on the enforcement of the treaty - Germany - ie Hilter - began to ignore other areas of the treaty. The allies were not willing to enforce the Treaty any longer by force - therefor Germany was still not justified in attacking Poland to regain its percieved lost terrority.

Hilter had already proven to both himself and the allies that they would not enforce the treaty.
