Note the year, 1938...it underlies something I have always believed....that one of the reasons Britain and France appeased Hitler, was because they ultimately were more afraid of the Soviets.
The danger remains Communism.
It was the Communist plan in 1934. It is 0bamas Communist plan today.
Excellent point - and they good reason to fear Stalin’s USSR and his agents abroad. Unfortunately, this prejudice blew their chance to ally with the USSR in early ‘39 and quash the still vulnerable Nazi war machine.
The West’s elites misunderestimated Hitler; that was their blunder. Their overestimation of Stalin is another story. ;^)
