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.
Hitler was pissed after Munich, he wanted to try out the Wehrmacht and he didn’t expect Britain to agree to his demands.
He wasn’t going to make the same “mistake” with Poland.
