When do you think Germans should be stopped and who was going to stop them?

After they attacked Poland. Second question is self answered since they eventually were stopped, so start from that list.

I know they period of history well enough. When Germany invaded Poland, Soviet Union was ally to Germany and no country was interested in helping Poland.

Exactly the point. They waited for too long to start acting seriously, thinking the problem won't affect them directly.

Parallels with Ukraine and no one helping it directly thinking the problem will stop there are pretty obvious.

Why were you okay with them conquering Czechoslovakia and Austria? Wouldn't it have been cheaper to stop them then?
