Lol. That's funny. It's not an ultimatum if it's written on my memo paper.
At that point, Chamberlain should have realized that Hitler was not remotely serious about 'peace', however one defines it. Had he had any sense, Chamberlain would have left right then, flown home, and begun mobilization ... or at least serious preparations for the war that was obviously coming.
I think at that point he should have left and flown directly to Paris. If he could have convinced the French to begin mobilizing then the Russians would likely have fullfilled their end of the treaty with the Czech’s which was condintional on French involvement. Hitler could not have withstood moving against the Czechs at that point if the French were going to start pooring into Germany on the Western Frontier and would have had to back down.
But hindsight is 20/20. That aside I can’t believe how blind Chamberlain was to cling so desperately to his appeasement policy by this point.
The whole point of Homer’s postings are to show how things were different 70 years ago, and yet some things don’t change.
Can’t you see President 0bama selling the a deal w/Iran that calls for the extinction of Israel by having bought the same logic? I can.
