An interesting bit of revisionist history about Neville Chamberlain. No idea if true, or not

Well, I knew he was a patriot at the end of the day. Didn’t know he was fully “woke” the day he waved that paper. If he was, it was a hell of an intelligence operation that he has paid the price of going down in history as a scoundrel, sort of.

Interestingly the article says Chamberlain triggered the whole thing, quite intentionally, knowing that Hitler would eventually attack Poland and thus cross a true red line. Yet, even after declaring war nothing happened from the Brits for quite some time ~ the phony war.
