Impossible. For a "peacekeeping" or "peace enforcement" mission there must be a pre-existing peace, and parties who agree to a truce or an armistice.
Directly after the invasion in Poland there could have been scope for a mission, _if_ Germany agreed to it and _if_ the League of Nations had put all its efforts in it, and _if_ all member countries cooperated. But the failure of stopping the Italian invasion of Abyssinya/Ethiopia speaks against it.

World War II was NOT a "Peacekeeping Mission" (which have never worked anyway) it was a WAR - it was THE War - and it WAS - not IS.

It was called a peace keeping mission at the time because the nations of Germany, Italy, and Japan were deemed as aggressors.

Both the Americans and the Japanese attempted to keep the peace by eliminating each other. We won. Now we buy electronics and automobiles. And they have lots of McDonald's and Starbucks. Hence, we have each kept a piece of each other.
Also, you might want to visit the Peace Park in Hiroshima sometime. That is a very clear reminder of what most politicians mean by "keeping the peace."

The same way that Vietnam was a "police action"
