That is a big part of the Munich legacy. The generals had been in communication with the British, at least, regarding their plan for a coup in the event of war. Chamberlain could have worked to enable them. Alas, he was not the last leader to make that mistake. I hope the current administration is in contact with dissidents in Iran.
I have omitted the ongoing story of the plotters from my excerpts from Shirer's book because it would be hard to serialize without a bunch of recapitulation for new readers on each post. Also, as we know, their efforts came to naught. Until the 1944 bomb plot that blew up in their faces. But that will have to wait. In the meantime, welcome aboard.
Thanks. And thanks for changing “run” to “rug.”
