That`s shocking! The Munich surrender followed, if my memory is correct,
and almost the whole world world knew that it would not result in peace
in our times! To speculate that the German high cpmmand was ready to
dump Hitler if only England were ready to show some spine! Didn`t
Chamberlain have others in the British Government to consult with?
History repeats. Surely Bush should have looked farther for consultation
before invading Iraq with so little support.

Usually covered up or glossed over, but Hitler and the Nazis had a lot of
supporters in the British government and ruling heirarchy at the time. Don't
forget the British royal family is of German origin. In the absence of the
treaty with Poland, which rather forced Britain into war against Germany,
Britain and Germany might possibly have combined forces and ruled over all
of Europe 60 years earlier than they do now. :-)
