Horkheimer delayed his fascism essay until the Hitler-Stalin pact and invasion of Poland
Evidence
The text was finished at the end of 1938 but was not sent to the printer until the beginning of September 1939, shortly after the signing of the Hitler-Stalin pact and the German invasion of Poland which followed a week later. The essay was published in the final issue of the ZfS, the last German-language number of the Institute’s journal. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 279
