... Germany. With the collapse of France both considered that the war was unwinnable. To continue hostilities in the absence of any allies outside the Commomwealth and Empire risked a shattering defeat. Rather than follow so suicidal a course, national and imperial interest dictated a deal with Hitler which left Britain and its Empire intact while simultaneously allowing Hitler to proceed on his crusade against the real enemy, the USSR. This defeatism was encouraged by powerful sections of the Conservative Party, the City, industry and the Royal Family, all of whom were ...

... thing is that as 'P Hess wasn't Hess at all, what was going on in 1941 when 'Hess' flew to Britain? Thomas offers a scenario- it is little more than that- in which Heinrich Himmler, head of the SS, was trying to displace Hitler. Himmler, suggests Thomas, heard about the (real) Hess's plan to go to Britain to seek peace, shot down Hess's plane and sent the doppelganger 'Hess' instead. This is pretty tentative, as Thomas admits. Nonetheless Thomas acquired a heavyweight ally ...

... Schacht. In Norman's words an 'Anglo-German connection' (20) had been created. The Nazis, after all, had only been in power for a few years. Behind them were sensible figures like Schacht who, it was hoped, would be able to steer Hitler in the direction of a more open and orthodox economic policy so that, as Tiarks said in March 1939, 'free and active relations between German banks and industry...and their London counterparts are reestablished....This development is not so far away as ...

... world in the 30s and 40s. The author, former foreign correspondent of The Times in Berlin and Prague, provides much information on the complicated diplomacy of the 1930s and 40s as well as some additional information on the activities of the internal resistance within Germany to Adolf Hitler and the supporters of the movement for a united Europe. The best parts of the book cover the major disaster of British foreign policy decision making in the twentieth century – the Munich agreement in 1938 – and the very under reported but considerable peace manoeuvres between August ...

... view first and when Khrushchev suggested the flight had been part of an attempted deal between German Nazis and a secret British peace party, Stalin agreed. But Winston Churchill refused to deal with the man called Hess and sent the pilot straight to the Tower of London. Hitler ranted when he was told about the Hess flight, although some historians, noting that Hitler was up at the exceptionally early time for him of 07h 30 that morning and dressed in full uniform, have suggested he knew of Hess's astonishing flight plan and was faking ...

... was little short of a tragedy because it deprived the country of the services of a man of immense talent and ability. Skidelsky is considerably more critical of Mosley for wasting his talent than he is of him for actually donning the blackshirt and allying himself with Mussolini and Hitler. Indeed, at times he seems to regard him as more of an English eccentric than a real fascist. Even when it comes to Mosley's embrace of anti-Semitism, Skidelsky quite incredibly argues that British Jews were at least partly responsible for this themselves because of their ...

... biographer of Lord Halifax (Foreign Secretary, 1938-41). As a result of his discussion with Aberconway, Roberts claimed that 'we now know that.... Chamberlain...was willing to go far further to appease Nazi Germany, in order to dissuade Hitler from invading Poland, than was ever supposed.' It emerges that Chamberlain and Halifax authorised the businessmen to explore the possibility of a Four Power (Britain, France, Germany and Italy) conference on the Munich model which would propose partitioning Poland in Hitler's favour ...

The singular Mr Stokes Once the war with Poland was over, though, Ramsay and his friends openly strove to reach a deal with Hitler. Nor were they alone. Griffiths notes the effort put into this by Richard Stokes- Labour MP for Ipswich.(4) The Soviet attack on Finland (November 30th 1939) opened the possibility of converting the war from an anti-Hitler crusade into an anti-Stalin ...
