Explanation
S1 reports Hitler's invasion of Russia. R notes no one could have expected it. Q observes that the usual formalities of perfidy were scrupulously observed. S explains why it was unexpected: a non-aggression treaty was in force. P adds that no complaint of non-fulfillment had been made, leading into S6's image of the German armies massed under false confidence. Hence (a) RQSP is correct.
