You mean you think this is fake? Or just meaningless?

I think it gives a little window into the mind of treason, cowardice and weakness. And appeasement; also shows that Chamberlain actually liked what Hitler was doing, not just mere weakness of heart.

I would disagree with that statement. I don't think he approved at all, but like most Brits of the era, they were still very leery of going to war again....I don't think Americans totally appreciate how devastating the first World War was on the British.

I don't believe it's fake, but meaningless to Chamberlain, yes. He probably had a subordinate write it, whether or not he actually signed it. It's fluff.

BTW, don't buy the original of the “Peace in our time” document that Chamberlain waved around after handing the “Sudetenland” to Hitler. The “document” that Chamberlain was waving was a BOAC in-flight menu.

"Sudetenland" in quotes, because only the Nazis ever called it that.
