I have carefully noted your comments on the events that lead to the irrecoverable decision to promote the war. One point of view of others,you have stated. This view does not put Winston Churchill in a favourable light. It is easy for wishful thinking and I have engaged in it myself. So much misinformation exists. Chamberlain's statement that "Hitler has missed the bus" was construed to mean the Germans were willing to negotiate a cease in hostilities. I bought into it.

The statement was made to mean that had Hitler have attacked Britain in 1938, he would have had an immediate success. Churchill was kind enough to deliver a eulogy a few days after Chamberlain's death in 1940. He was a broken man because of the perfidy of Hitler.

Excuse the ramble and I shall have to do more reading of Hess and his flight.

The Nazi's theory of lebensraum was similar to “liberal” professor's guiding ideologies that clash with realities of the real world when put in practice. Lebensraum prompted hitler to invade Austria, Poland, etc. without objective consideration of the consequences. From what I have studied, the British upper class resented Churchill because he wasn't a socialist/communist, was 10 times smarter than most of them, and showed them how real leaders get it done. Watch the Brit series "WWII in Colour", and they take a cheap shot at Churchill claiming that he knew about the concentration camps and did nothing! These are the same people letting the muzzies run rampant in Britain today!
