It's scary to think how much society, technology and the balance of world power changed so dramatically from 1939 - 45. It may be six years, but think of the difference between 1920 and 1926 - nothing much truly changed. War certainly does change a lot, sometimes for the better
Its really a very good speech and no matter what he had done it would have been the same outcome. Who should we celebrate a Warmonger or a Peacemaker?, a Warmonger who succeeds is never forgotton, but a Peacemaker who lost has his name blacked forever what kind of justice is that?
@shitonMOHAMMAD Exactly the point. Early Hirohito photos show him with a mustache It is not always true of course--Mussolini had no mustache. Mao Tse Tung lacked a mustache. Partly this may be due to the cover a mustache can provide. None can see the upper lip as part of facial expression as well. .
British are a bully empire that brought hitler to power. germany had the option to either give up around 40% of it's resources plus war reparations whey they already had high unempoyment and people were going hungry or have a revolution. A revolution happened and hitler became the leader. The US is a british colony you get a twisted history about Germany which is a much greater country than England. the british wanted to stop Germany from replacing them as the central power in Europe.
Chamberlain didn't have the courage of Churchill. Churchill warned that appeasing Hitler would lead to dire consequences...and he was correct. Giving Hitler the Sudetenland was a catastrophic mistake. Thankfully, Britain had Churchill to lead their country in the subsequent difficult years.
@GSeward It was indeed, but crippling Germany so much with the Treaty of Versailles' clauses was also a colossal mistake. Quite apart from the fact that it was iniquitous because the Allies were just as culpable as the Germans in the Great War, it created an atmosphere in which Hitler and the Nazis could thrive, when they wouldn't otherwise have been able to get to power. Oh and Britain and the Commonwealth, 'twas a team effort
@trixwi-- correct. furthermore the only option was Hitler/Workers Party that represented Germany or the other parties that did not represent Germany. The war reparations and the parting of territory only left one option and that was to revolt with Hitler or let them divide up Germany and the resources. It wasn't much of an option. The Brits / French did not truly want peace. They got what they wanted which was a very horrible 2nd world war which was really about the Brits losing dominance.
@trixwiz7 Brest-Litovsk proved Versailles an act of kindness. Sèvres & Trianon were harsher pacts with negative impacts still felt in the Balkans & the Middle East; neither Hungary nor Turkey responded with aggressive conquest of continents. Nazi Germany annexed Austria rather than re-establish the Austro-Hungarian empire.
Hitler wanted a road and rail line through the Polish corridor and control of Danzig, which was 90% German! Everyone, including Chamberlain, thought this was reasonable. It was the pig-headed Poles and their junta led by Josef Beck, emboldened by the insane war guarantee, who refused this reasonable accommodation. As a result, Poland and the rest of Europe were flattened, 50 million Europeans perished, and Uncle Joe took over half of Europe.
Go figure. It is actually possible to make a speech basically signalling the start of a war becoming a world war sound boring. Way to go, Neville old chap.
A large number of the people listening to this broadcast would of fought or lived through the first world war and the horrors that brought with it, they weren't fucking excited about a world war like some dumb idiot sitting in the 2011 probably playing call of duty and thinking he knows fuck all about anything.
@TheMissBettyBoop99 In the end ... Poland, for whose liberty the West had gone to war, ended up with none at all. On the contrary, she was handed over to Stalin, along with the whole of Eastern Europe, including a part of Germany. Even so, there are some people in the West who continue to believe that the West won the Second World War.
@SyberiaDreams the west did win, and so did the east, in a way. but the formal term to describe the winners are the allies. the soviets and the brits/americans were divided but only worked together under a common enemy, germany. really, the winners were the US, UK, USSR, china, australia, canada, france, etc. it was the nazi german empire and the japanese empires that lost. but to say that "the west won", well the west is a broad term which includes germany and italy, so no, the west didnt win
Chamberlain didn't GIVE Sudatenland to Hitler. Hitler told him he had no more territorial claims in Europe in 1938. Hitler signed a document saying so and Chamberlain, was too trusting and believed he would live up to the Munich pact.
The war was caused by Chamberlain when he gave the Sudatenland to Hitler, absolutely no other reason. Hitler would have avoided the West if Chamberlain had stood his ground. It is Chamberlain's fault.
@Atkinson12333 : The Czechs were ready to defend their country, and Chamberlain had to make it clear that the WW1 treaty could not be rescinded to please Hitler's whims.
@JBC814 Problem was Poland's arrogant leadership; Beck thought getting a piece of the pie was more important than the resulting regional insecurity The punishment, partition & mass slaughter, was far more severe than the crime warranted.
@P1B1U1H1: Yes, Beck was baiting Hitler to attack. What reasoning he used can only be absurd, so there must have been some kind of conspiracy. The only sane choice was to capitulate and be annexed by Berlin. In any case, I take back my previous statement that it was Chamberlain's fault. He may have been the second shoe to drop, but it was France's failure to stop Hitler's occupation of the Rhineland that was the first shoe to drop. War could have been avoided if they had done so.
@JBC814 Poles believed that part of Czechoslovakia to be stolen property, so Beck, who appears to have believed himself some sort of chum of Germany, used the opportunity to reclaim the land. Absurdity is no argument for conspiracy: Hitler knew what crushed Bonaparte; invading Russia was idiotic. Had France & the UK acted after the Rheinland, not only would the European WW2 have been prevented, so would the Cold War.
@P1B1U1H1 Hitler was a chicken without a head, running around Europe and Africa instead of directing all his efforts towards Russia as he stated in Mein Kampf. He should have taken the Romanian route to Russia, avoiding CZ and PO altogether. He didn't grab HU, RO, & BU until '41 - much too late in the game against the world's largest country - and he didn't make the oil fields his #1 priority. Cutting Russia's oil supply was the only way he could have won.
@JBC814 I'd have skipped the North Russia, using your idea, the Romanian corridor, to grab the Caucasus & the Ukraine. The answer to your seemingly wise suggestion & my perhaps less wise suggestion is that of Churchill, who said Hitler's genius dictated what the Germans did when they did it. It's awful tough to argue against a success like the rapid conquest of France.
@P1B1U1H1 American and British investments backed Hitler's rise to power in the hopes he would rid the world of communism, instead he turned against the West. Without Russia the Third Reich would disappear into history, so it remains a mystery why he would jeopardize his chances for victory in the East. PO & CZ were trinkets compared to the wealth of Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria, which should have been annexed right after Austria. From there, on into the Russian oil fields in 1939.
@JBC814 Investments were likely based on profit potential; the Nazi economic miracle, an aggressive variant of US Keynesianism, looked quite nice in a gloomy world. The Rheinland Conquest 7mr36 was the first definite reason for concern. Antisemitism raised eyebrows, but was at that point simply words with some discriminatory laws; Krystallnacht occurred 9no38.
@Atkinson12333 Hitler wouldn't have attacked Britain (France yes, but not Britain). Basically Hitler's sense of reason was based entirely on race and he considered Britons to be racially equal to Germans. Moreover he adored Britain's aristocracy. He wanted British alliance. Luftwaffe Ace Adolf Galland told Hitler about his success against the RAF and Hitler said I don't want to hear about it, it saddens me that this is necessary. But good on the Empire for taking on Hitler, morality won out
Britain had the cheek to declare war on Germany, Why should Germany pull out of Rhineland, Austria & Poland if Britain does not pull of India, Africa, and other weaker counties why. The German invasion of Poland is what america and britain has done in Iraq, shade of Nazi Germany coming in there, shame shit different ass holes.
The second part of this broadcast 1.00 onwards is the important part. People should remeber that in 1936 there was no way that Britain could have defended itelf let alone assist others and to imagine otherwise is delusional . Chamberlain was a clever man and perared for the worst while hoping for a better outcome and in doing so enabled the building up of airfields and an air force that ultimately saved the day [ only just] . Calling him an 'appeaser ' is too simplistic .
I guess if appeasement would have continued , and Hitler was able to do what he wanted , indefinitely, the concentration camps, and all the other abuses on the people,( including Germans) of central Europe would have gone on forever. The first concentration camp was opened in 1934, and was already full of 'Undesireables' by the time Chamderlain the the rest of the appeasers were going strong in 1936. When Chamberlain went to Munich in 1938 all this was well under way, and I believe was known.
@TheStandofTheLastGuy Chamberlain was a typically Tory upper class and with its blind spots. Edouard Benes' nephew told me about a dinner he and his uncle went to at the Chamberlain's in1940. (Br. recognized Benes as the Czech chief of state in 1940.) After dinner, Chamberlain offered Benes a cigarette from the case Hitler had given him. It was inscribed with a map of Germany and 3 precious stones at Berchtesgarten, Bad Godesberg and Munich--cites where Benes' own country had been sold out.
This was just a civil war amongst white folks.Hitler could only have been born a white man.No other evil mind of that magnitude has ever existed in human history.
@olegaita1 You need to read about Joseph Stalin, The Khmer Rouge Hell State: In proportion to its population, Cambodia underwent a human catastrophe unparalleled in this century. Out of a 1970 population of probably near 7,100,0001 Cambodia probably lost slightly less than 4,000,000 people to war.Turkey's Ethnic Purges: The infamy of executing this century's first full scale ethnic cleansing belongs to Turkey's Young Turk government during World War I. They Killed around 2 million Armenians.
@GetOffMyNuts88 I dunne herd that in the Soviet Gulag Stet they murdered 619,110,000 people cus Stalin didn't like em eaten their eggs at the sharp end.
@mc0558 Go to college, Go to English class then when you can understand the English Language you can read some books. The Unnecessary wars is a good one. Maybe when your done with that you can bump up to Memoirs of Gestapo chief Heinrich Muller, being that its a CIA book and you want talk about corruption and wrongful doings maybe you should read all 3 books (IF) you can find them. Then and Only then message me back. As of now your swinging from my nuts and its seriously unattractive.
@GetOffMyNuts88 I will give you one more chance to behave properly, organize you thoughts and write to me again--that is if you wish to discuss historical matters related to this period. If that is not your purpose here, I'll simply block you. I don't waste my time!
@GetOffMyNuts88 When you look at the circumstances leading to these catastrophes,you can only say that Hitler's was quite unnecessary and uncalled for. It is only white people who can execute mass murders that have no justification at all.I don't mean to justify any sought of killing at all but something like the Khmer Rouge ordeal was triggered by something and not mere hatred of another race.
@olegaita1 Oh really, so the mass murder inb North Africa is ok because they are of colored decent? hmmmmmmm that's Bullshit. The Germans starved in the Streets of their own country for 15 years plus. Then a man by the Name of Hitler promised to end all of that by creating jobs and declaring people whom were both money hungry and bad for the economy enemy's of the state. The problem is the world did not want these same people in their country. These people would port and be sent to the next port
@TheStandofTheLastGuy Hitler wasn't a homocidal maniac, Roosevelt and Churchill and Stalin the Zionist puppets were. If England cared about Poland. she would have declared war on the Soviet Union. Churchill was a criminal, if ever there was one.
England attacked America like 3 times to Germans 0, As an American i believe we had no business in the European Civil wars much like they had no business in ours. In the end it came down to money The (Depression). As for the Japanese, what would go want to do if a Country Set up an embargo to directly effect your country.
@GetOffMyNuts88 "A European civil war". Get'cha arse back to elementary school!
Oh yeah: FUCK AMERICA! Coward fucks. America was in full compliance with Germany and would have happily arranged an armistice with Hitler in exchange for a Zionist state to be created in Palestine. After Hitler was defeated in the Battle of Britain and the subsequent bombing of Pearl Harbour, no truce was now feasible. This is why the 'Holocaust' was fabricated; to engender support for the recreation of Zion.
@CnutRexAnglorum The problem is your an Idiot, Guess what my grandmother lived in Austria when all that shit went down, Nobody even knew about the Holocaust until The troops stumbled across what they thought were work camps. In the Book unnecessary wars its explained that the reason Japan bombed Pearl Harbor was because of the embargo set up by the Americans. i would call that an Act Of War by America. If you read the Book you will Learn America Needed a war so they could get people working.
@CnutRexAnglorum: people like you believe what you are FED. You likely some grouchy 60 year old with nobody to talk to so you Troll around on here and ACT like you know something. The Problem is at Arizona State where i go to school Im already a History Major. You can send me shit all day and ill just keep crushing you with Facts.
Respond to this video... So your saying America set up an oil embargo to ensure the saving of the Jews? Your saying these American cowards some how joined forces with a communist Country to 1 day destroy itself? Your saying General Patton did not want to take Crack SS troops and push Russia Back and save German woman from mass rape? If you want to Blame someone Blame Roosevelt the Big Government Communist, Or Blame Hitler for not supplying his Troops at Stalin Grad.
@GetOffMyNuts88: "England attacked America like 3 times ..."
How incredibly "articulate" of you, and how incredibly uninformed you are of history. Britain "attacked" the United States once: the War of 1812. Even the American Revolutionary War can not be fairly said to be a British "attack" as the American colonies were their possession at the time. Though Britain did not ally itself with the U.S. during the Civil War, neither did it enter the war as a belligerent against the union.
@inkyguy actually, depending on how far you got in school you may have read about the Revolutionary war, War of 1812, and you may have heard of the American Civil war that England backed the Confederates against the Union. Now Scram.
@inkyguy --- the British still rule the US. Canada and AU actually hail QE. Civil war history was a crock of shit. US was told it won the are but the policies are still that of the British. The flag isn't much different lol. At least if your going to defeat someone have an original flag. Much of the history in history books is very inaccurate and written by the wealthy.
@GetOffMyNuts88: "As for the Japanese, what would go want to do if a Country Set up an embargo to directly effect your country."
What rot! The Japanese planned the attack on the U.S. a full year before any oil embargo. Moreover, the embargo was in response to Japan's invasion of sovereign countries that the the United States considered essential to its security. The U.S. response was very measured. The Japanese responded to the embargo as with a surprise attack to instigate war.
@LovelyElbe11 Ironic that isnt it talking about running away but look who ran from the russians after you fucked up that invasion, and then you wave your white little surrender flag, and again to pussy to own up what you did in the war and blame everyother nation, i bet you'd probably blame the polish cos you know you nazi's dont really like them, tryna dominate weaker nations like them.. shows how mint they are they even killed there own people Hitler had the S.S murdered!
Chamberlain did not want to go to war with Germany. But the Jewish overlords forced him to do it. If war with Germany was unavoidable than Chamberlain did not wish to carry it out. So the Jewish masters brought in Churchill who was mentally unstable to wage war.
@cheifbrownface You, Sir, are just one more anti-semitic pig! Chamberlain did not want to go to war with Germany because war is a gamble on a momentous scale, and Britain did not have the superabundance of resources needed to guarantee success. But he had decided, as the British people had decided months before, that Hitler had to be stopped and that he negotiations with him were futile. Britain must either fight or inevitably become a puppet state. Brits are gutsy and would never accept that.
@mc0558 Britain and her Empire, mind. The good people of the Commonwealth also need not have gone to war but as soon as Britain declared war on Germany there were never to be any two ways about whether (most) Commonwealth countries were at war with Germany too. Commonwealth nations supported their Empire and what they understood to be morality. They were as gutsy as Britain and suffered too
@mc0558 Britain wouldn't have become a puppet state exactly. If Britain had allowed Hitler to do as he pleased, Hitler wouldn't have attempted any invasion of Britain, as he considered Britons racially equal. Britain wouldn't have been able to defy Nazi interests on the Continent, but other than that it'd have had its own sovereignty, so to that extent it wouldn't have been a puppet state. Hitler hoped Britain would help Germany subjugate Eastern Europe. Thankfully Britain knew right from wrong
@cheifbrownface Yea the Zionist were looking to get their precious Israel and had to keep the number of Jews who were going to show up there down. Hence the Final solution.
tremendous speech. he made mistakes when faced with the monster that was adolf - signing away other sovereign nation's territory without consultation - but how many of us could possibly say truthfully that we would have done any different faced with the same enormous pressure?
@BarnabyJones101 WWI taught Britain that the support of the United States was vital. In 1938 Europe was Hitler, Stalin and Britain, meaning the US was more important to Britain than ever.
The way Chamberlain handled himself insured that American public opinion was pro-British. The failure of appeasement left Americans believing Chamberlain was a weakling--a bourgeois gentleman of reason and peace up against a pack of mobsters--but Britain was peace-loving & democratic & the US must support it.
@mc0558 Chamberlain never looked to gain American aid and his conduct was not dictated by how it would be percieved in America. He truely and wholeheartedly believed that war could be averted by negotiations and that he could keep peace and he was completely devastated when his attempts failed. When he declared war, when he led the nation through the Phoney War, when he stepped down as PM, Chamberlain did not spare one thought to what America thought of him but he regretted ever trusting Hitler.
@11nytram11 Chamberlain was very definitely interested in American public opinion. Initially, the Munich Agreement made him as popular in the States as in Britain. Roosevelt hailed him as a peace-maker, and when war did come, most Americans saw Hitler as the cause of it. Chamberlain was smart and gutsy, but he had enormous blind spots of his class and culture. He thought he could satisfy Hitler's legitimate demands and hem him in with alliances. When those policies failed, he'd failed.
@mc0558 I overstated it a bit. I meant to say Chamberlain's foreign policy was not dictated by American public opinion. Britain didn't want a war and nor was the country prepared for war, the Dominions had told him that he couldn't count on their support if a war broke out in Europe, the Soviet Union couldn't be relied upon as an allie and support from France wasn't guarenteed. There was far more on Chamberlain mind during that time than presenting himself in an appealing way to the Americans.
@11nytram11 WWI contained many lessons. For the Germans: avoid a war on two fronts; find alternative food sources. For Frenchmen: if it hadn't been for Britain, France would have lost in 1916. For the Brits, if it had have been for the United States, Britain would have lost in the Ludendorf Offensives in the Spring of 1918. For the US: the whole of Europe is a sewer; they're all cynical imperialists; AND they default on their debts (except for tiny Finland-ergo US anger over Finnish-USSR War).
I'm not actually saying there's anything wrong with an international Jewish movement. There were many internationalist movements of different races back then and still are. What I was getting at was that topic is kind of taboo nowadays because of idiots like the guys that posted after me. I don't care, I just want a complete picture of everything that may or may not have been going on behind closed doors at the time.
1 of 2 Chamberlain had his quirks. Bos Benes, Eduard Benes' nephew and private secretary, told me of going to dinner at Downing Street just after the war started. ((The Beneses had moved to London after the Munich Agreement. When war started Benes was acknowledged the rightful President of Czechoslovakia.) Anyway, after dinner Chamberlain offered Benes a cigarette from is gold cigarette case.
@TroyaE117 According to Hitler's translator, he never saw anyone speak to Hitler the way Chamberlain did. When they met a week earlier at Bad Godesberg, and Hitler had changed all the conditions he was demanding, Chamberlain actually pushed Hitler into a chair, got up very close and told him off with his finger wagging inches above his nose. Chamberlain knew what Hitler was all about and despised him. But he didn't want another WW if it could be avoided. In the end he found that it couldn't be.
@mc0558 --well what a brave heroic man Chamberlain is. He pushes Hitler like they are schoolchildren, but then sells out another country so Hilter can continue his murderous campaing to take over Europe. Glad u brought this to light! --Now my impression of Chamberlain is just SO different
people who give nc grief for his appeasement policy need to learn their history, britain was not strong enough in the 30s to take germany on, he was forced to play a game with hitler appeasing him while building up our strengh. ppl should remember one thing when commenting on nc,s timing, we won!
@bewareofthedogg Read the memoires of W.S. Churchill, he already warned in 1930 for the German build up. Chamberlain went into history as the ultimate " appeaser ". You won by Churchill and his power, not by normal odds.
@Tralgit Precisely! But Chamberlain was tough. He was no weakling. It is simply that unlike Churchill he wanted to explore every avenue possible to avoid a World War. Moreover, he totally misjudged the USSR. It never occurred to him that Stalin and Hitler might sign a pact. Stalin would always be there to ally with Fr and GB. Suddenly he wasn't. And so the WWII started for Britain on far worst conditions than WWI started! None the less, it started, and Chamberlain declared war.
@Tralgit Yes! What you say is true, but Chamberlain also saw that Hitler was the devil; but he was willing to pay the devil's price if it would keep Britain free without another War. If the Americans had not been overwhelmingly isolations, Chamberlain would not have hesitated to stop Hitler immediately.
@mc0558 Nobody in his right mind wanted another war, the mistake was made with the treaty of Versailles whereby the Germans were brought to their knees but not conquered. Democracy was never a strong thing in Germany due to its history and mentality .Churchill understood both and knew what was coming.
@Tralgit The Versailles Treaty was made worse by what happened in the aftermath. The Republicans in the US refused to ratify it and took American out of the international arena. This weakened the British and French position tremendously, and British leaders felt it keenly. German disarmament was supposed to be step 1 in a worldwide disarmament that never took shape. The guilt clause was totally untrue and unjust. Reparations proved to be more of a provocation than a real economic burden.
@mc0558 What I know is that in order to pay the " restitution " the money presses in Germany were put on full power, 1 million Deutch marks for a loaf of bread!!
Depression and unemployment made the Germans ripe for an extreme guy like AH,
@Tralgit The allies were to smart to accept worthless money. The inflation of 1919-22 was caused by government debt left in bonds that had been sold to pay for tWWI. By war's end, the Reichsmark had fallen from 3.7 to the $ in 1914 to 90 RM. The government inflated its 1919 currency to wipe the slate clean; they concluded it with a new currency, the Rentenmark, and then reinstituted the RM. This had nothing to do with reparations!
@Tralgit Reparations were linked to the value of Britain's currency and were to be paid in bullion or in coal, iron, steel, etc. Paper money in Reichmarks were not acceptable.
Germany defaulted on its first two payments; France occupied the Ruhr and started to collect themselves; the Dawes Plan was then rushed through whereby America lent Germany the money it needed to pay the Europeans. In 1930, the German government defaulted completely, just as the Br and Fr defaulted to the Americans.
@loyaldude10 Yeah, but you had to discover the full nature of the beast until you realized that you had no alternative but to fight another world war. If he had kept his word over Czechoslovakia; he he had kept his word to the Poles. It was precisely because he broke his word that Cham. reached the conclusion that there was nothing to do but fight.
@mc0558 ---tough my ass! He was weak kneed and coudnt stand up even though all of Europe would eventually be threatened. He could not have been that naive
@loyaldude10 What have you ever read about Neville Chamberlain? Get yourself a good biograghy. The first of two volumes by David Dilks, is a masterpiece. The second should be out very soon.
Chamberlian looked weak in his black suit, bowler hat, his umbrella, amidst all these swaggering uniformed Nazi goons. But as in everything, appearances are deceptive. Personally, he was probably tougher than they were.
2 of 2. Story cont. On the case was an engraved map of Germany with precious stones at Berchtesgarten, Bad Godesberg and Munich, the places where Czechoslovakia's fate had been decided by Hitler and Chamberlain. Hitler had given it to Chamberlain at Munich. Needless to say, Benes decided not to smoke. That Chamberlain could have done such an insensitive thing as to show this case to Benes is unbelievable!
@bewareofthedogg You're absolutely right. After the Munich Agreement, Chamberlain's government began a break neck speed to rearm the country and prepare for war, especially in the production of fighter aircraft and bombers. It is hard to imagine our successes in the Battle of Britain without what we accomplished in that one year.
@loyaldude10 A lot of Brits had come to feel that WWI had been a waste of life--a war of imperialists. Pacifism was popular. It took them some time to really get a good look at Hitler and decide that come hell or high water, he must be stopped. It took time, but in the end, they made that decision definitely and courageously.
@loyaldude10 Did not surrender?! There were more than a score of people in who ever thought for a moment that Britain would not win the war. Call them crazy, call them stupid, the English "knew" that Germany would lose. It was only a matter of time. Even Chamberlain, who knew another war would ruin the economy, believed that Britain's victory was inevitable. On the eve of war he wrote Hitler warning him that Britain would pull the whole world into the war against him.
@mc0558 The English started war on Germany in 1939, and by 1940 they were already defeated on the continent. As soon as the German army approached, your British grandfathers ran away head over heals. You ran away! hahaha
And since the whole British ran away from the Germans in Dunkirk 1940, they never dared coming back. The only thing they dared was killing German children from a safe distance in their planes, these fucking British cowards. How pathetic to shun the fight man-to-man.
The English lost against Germany after few months. Hitler was generous and let the whole British army of cowards get away, because he offered peace to Britain and France. But while your French pussy friends surrendered after only weeks, the British did not want peace. You British cowards than ran crying to your ugly fat American murder-friends, they saved your arse.
Germany is one of the greatest nation in the world, they could have taken your tiny island within weeks, if they had wanted to.
Neville chamberlain was an mealy- mouthed, cowardly bastard whose inaction cost the world 50 millions of dead. It took ages to get him to go to war agains the Krauts, and even more time to get him to resign his positon as PM of Great Britain.
@mmcceng77 The thing is he wasn't cowardly or mealy-mouthed. He was sharp and rughless. Remember that he followed Baldwin's appeasement policy. Look, with the Indian Empire on the verge of being lost,if Hitler could be bought off so much the better. It wasnt's until Hitler carried out his pogrom against the Jews, seized Prague, allied with Stalin and went after Poland that NC finally accepted what Churchill had been saying, that Hitler was a bounder who could only be stopped with force!
@mmcceng77 Chamberlain was not cowardly! He simply knew that as things stood in 1938, for Britain to fight Hitler was a terrific gamble with the nation's fate. Anyway, in the months following Munich, the government built more fighter aircraft and the German's did, laying the groundwork for victory in the Battle of Britain. And finally he, Chamberlain drew the line over Poland. Remember, he declared war on Hitler not the otherway around.
@loyaldude10 Yes, he should have. In 1936, when Hitler broke the Locarno Pact by remilitarizing the Rhineland, would have been the perfect time. France and Britain could have stopped hitler in a week with no casualties. But the British like the fact that Hitler was anti-communist, they had come to feel that the Versailles Treaty, and they wanted to prevent war at all costs. So they took the pacifist route.
@mc0558 Chamberlain wasn't Prime Minister in 1936. Stanley Baldwin was Prime Minister in 1936 and before him was Ramsey MacDonald from 1931 to 1935. Chamberlain didn't take the job until May 28th 1937, by which time Germany already had rearmed.
With Germany rearmament in 1935 Chamberlain, in his position as Chancellor of the exchequer, allocated increased funding to rearmament of the British military and the RAF in particular.
@I've responded to two of your posts and the one where I talk about when Chamberlain became PM was in response to you saying Chamberlain should have taken a stand against Hitler in 1936.
@11nytram11 Did I say Chamberlain or Britain? If I did I inadvertently misspoke. I was making the point that 1936 was the last year Britain and France could have intervened in Germany with relative ease and demanded Hitler's removal from office and the banning of the Nazi Party.After that, intervention became progressively more problematic, though even when war broke out the French Army should have been able to win it. They just to march on the Ruhr flat out. They didn't. cus Gamlin was yellow.
@11nytram11 The big armament's budget was between the Munich Treaty and the outbreak of War. Chamberlain used that year to make up for military neglect of the past 20yrs. It is no exaggeration to say the UK won the 1940 Battle of Britain because of the airforce Chamberlain built in that one year. This alone makes the Munich Agreement was worthwhile. Anywayby Sept, 1938, it was already too late for UK/FR to stop Hitler without a major conflict. Of course, if the French Army had been better led...
Some claim that most people feared Stalin at the time so having nazi-Germany as a powerful buffer state in Stalin's way was "clever planning". Ironically enough Stalin planned the same thing and hoped France and Britain would fight Germany for years and then he could deal the final blow to Hitler and "liberate" Europe.
Correct about 1936. Churchill blamed the French after war and said that all this could have been avoided if the French attacked Hitler in the Rhineland 1936.
Lupu needs to understand that at the time Palestine was under the post WW1 British Mandate and that Judea was merely a province of palestine. Additionally, the phrase 'international jewry' was a phrase concocted by Goebels. If anything the headline adds weight to the argument that the allied powers new full well about the Final Solution and chose not to intervene until 1939.
The newspaper at 0:36 is interesting because it shows the "international Jewry" that the Nazis were fighting against. I'm not excusing the holocaust, but I'm wondering how much of the anti-semitism of the time was credible and how much of that credibility has been covered up since.
"International jewery" found that Germany unlike Russia was a tough nut to crack so instead of a red revolution in 1919 Nationalist Germans crushed the jewish led Bolshevik movement in Germany through out the 1920's which eventually led to the appointment of Adolf Hitler as chancellor and unlike modern politicians he gave the people just what they wanted total victory over the jewish choke hold which has since swallowed the world except for the countries who like Germany kicked the merchant out!
Churchill blindly followed the orders passed down by the jewish overlords to firebomb German civilians in 1940. Only after scores of Germans had been massacred did Hitler reciprocate. Nobody was able to see how Churchill could have possibly afforded the sprawling estate where he resided between WW1 and WW2. No doubt that Churchill was on the jewish payroll as war mongerer number one. Neville Chamberlain stated for the record that Churchill's barbarism was direct violation of international law.
@odessaforever88 For the innocents out there who may not know your history, don't be misled by evil people like "@odessaforever88". Find yourself several good history books and learn for your self about what happened between 1915 and 1945.
@Kram6298 Never tell an antisemitic piece of shit like this that you are not a Jew? When non-Jews tell antisemites that they are not Jews, they isolate and leave exposed the real Jews. When it comes to fight against antisemites, ALL decent people are Jews. They ask you, are you Jewish, you answer, "Yes and fuck you creep!" May Odessaforever88 and all his evil like rot in hell for ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@mc0558 Calm down my good man. I leave the ultimate protection of Jews to the ultimate power. It is important that scum like Odessaforever88 (who probably has pimples and bad breath) understand that they are opposed not just by Jews but by all decent people.
@Kram6298 OK! I calm down immediately. But I hope you also get my point. These people begin by identifying and separating the Jews. When a good person is asked "Are you Jewis?" and tells the simple truth, "No", he has unknowingly done hsi part in doing their work for them. In my battle against these people on the internet, they always hurl "Jew" at me. I never correct them, and just dish it to them in spades. You sound like a great guy. Good luck you my friend!
@odessaforever88 --worms like u will constantly struggle because u r intellectually inferior. so I guess jews, being so successful, will be a major source of frustration for u most of ur life. Are u used to it yet?
@LupuSabre ---u r obviously very uneducated and ill informed, or so intellectually challenged that I shouldnt even be responding to ur nonsense. Isnt there intl Americanism? English? German? Russian? people like u re envious becuase jews held a lot of important positions--due to hard work and brains, though. There was a huge amount of anti-semitism during this period, and lots b4

Hitler wanted a road and rail line through the Polish corridor and control of Danzig, which was 90% German! Everyone, including Chamberlain, thought this was reasonable. It was the pig-headed Poles and their junta led by Josef Beck, emboldened by the insane war guarantee, who refused this reasonable accommodation. As a result, Poland and the rest of Europe were flattened, 50 million Europeans perished, and Uncle Joe took over half of Europe.

@P1B1U1H1 Hitler was a chicken without a head, running around Europe and Africa instead of directing all his efforts towards Russia as he stated in Mein Kampf. He should have taken the Romanian route to Russia, avoiding CZ and PO altogether. He didn't grab HU, RO, & BU until '41 - much too late in the game against the world's largest country - and he didn't make the oil fields his #1 priority. Cutting Russia's oil supply was the only way he could have won.

@JBC814 I'd have skipped the North Russia, using your idea, the Romanian corridor, to grab the Caucasus & the Ukraine.

It's awful tough to argue against a success like the rapid conquest of France.

@P1B1U1H1 American and British investments backed Hitler's rise to power in the hopes he would rid the world of communism, instead he turned against the West. Without Russia the Third Reich would disappear into history, so it remains a mystery why he would jeopardize his chances for victory in the East. PO & CZ were trinkets compared to the wealth of Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria, which should have been annexed right after Austria. From there, on into the Russian oil fields in 1939.

@mc0558 Chamberlain never looked to gain American aid and his conduct was not dictated by how it would be percieved in America. He truely and wholeheartedly believed that war could be averted by negotiations and that he could keep peace and he was completely devastated when his attempts failed. When he declared war, when he led the nation through the Phoney War, when he stepped down as PM, Chamberlain did not spare one thought to what America thought of him but he regretted ever trusting Hitler.
11nytram11 11 months ago
@11nytram11 Chamberlain was very definitely interested in American public opinion. Initially, the Munich Agreement made him as popular in the States as in Britain. Roosevelt hailed him as a peace-maker, and when war did come, most Americans saw Hitler as the cause of it. Chamberlain was smart and gutsy, but he had enormous blind spots of his class and culture. He thought he could satisfy Hitler's legitimate demands and hem him in with alliances. When those policies failed, he'd failed.
mc0558 11 months ago
@mc0558 I overstated it a bit. I meant to say Chamberlain's foreign policy was not dictated by American public opinion. Britain didn't want a war and nor was the country prepared for war, the Dominions had told him that he couldn't count on their support if a war broke out in Europe, the Soviet Union couldn't be relied upon as an allie and support from France wasn't guarenteed. There was far more on Chamberlain mind during that time than presenting himself in an appealing way to the Americans.

When they met a week earlier at Bad Godesberg, and Hitler had changed all the conditions he was demanding, Chamberlain actually pushed Hitler into a chair, got up very close and told him off with his finger wagging inches above his nose. Chamberlain knew what Hitler was all about and despised him. But he didn't want another WW if it could be avoided. In the end he found that it couldn't be.

@mc0558 --well what a brave heroic man Chamberlain is. He pushes Hitler like they are schoolchildren, but then sells out another country so Hilter can continue his murderous campaing to take over Europe. Glad u brought this to light! --Now my impression of Chamberlain is just SO different

people who give nc grief for his appeasement policy need to learn their history, britain was not strong enough in the 30s to take germany on, he was forced to play a game with hitler appeasing him while building up our strengh. ppl should remember one thing when commenting on nc,s timing, we won!

@bewareofthedogg Read the memoires of W.S. Churchill, he already warned in 1930 for the German build up. Chamberlain went into history as the ultimate " appeaser ". You won by Churchill and his power, not by normal odds.

@Tralgit Precisely! But Chamberlain was tough. He was no weakling. It is simply that unlike Churchill he wanted to explore every avenue possible to avoid a World War. Moreover, he totally misjudged the USSR. It never occurred to him that Stalin and Hitler might sign a pact. Stalin would always be there to ally with Fr and GB. Suddenly he wasn't. And so the WWII started for Britain on far worst conditions than WWI started! None the less, it started, and Chamberlain declared war.

@Tralgit Yes! What you say is true, but Chamberlain also saw that Hitler was the devil; but he was willing to pay the devil's price if it would keep Britain free without another War. If the Americans had not been overwhelmingly isolations, Chamberlain would not have hesitated to stop Hitler immediately.
mc0558 1 year ago
@mc0558 Nobody in his right mind wanted another war, the mistake was made with the treaty of Versailles whereby the Germans were brought to their knees but not conquered. Democracy was never a strong thing in Germany due to its history and mentality .Churchill understood both and knew what was coming.
Tralgit 1 year ago
@Tralgit The Versailles Treaty was made worse by what happened in the aftermath. The Republicans in the US refused to ratify it and took American out of the international arena. This weakened the British and French position tremendously, and British leaders felt it keenly. German disarmament was supposed to be step 1 in a worldwide disarmament that never took shape. The guilt clause was totally untrue and unjust. Reparations proved to be more of a provocation than a real economic burden.

@Tralgit The allies were to smart to accept worthless money. The inflation of 1919-22 was caused by government debt left in bonds that had been sold to pay for tWWI. By war's end, the Reichsmark had fallen from 3.7 to the $ in 1914 to 90 RM. The government inflated its 1919 currency to wipe the slate clean; they concluded it with a new currency, the Rentenmark, and then reinstituted the RM. This had nothing to do with reparations!
mc0558 1 year ago
@Tralgit Reparations were linked to the value of Britain's currency and were to be paid in bullion or in coal, iron, steel, etc. Paper money in Reichmarks were not acceptable.
Germany defaulted on its first two payments; France occupied the Ruhr and started to collect themselves; the Dawes Plan was then rushed through whereby America lent Germany the money it needed to pay the Europeans. In 1930, the German government defaulted completely, just as the Br and Fr defaulted to the Americans.

Chamberlian looked weak in his black suit, bowler hat, his umbrella, amidst all these swaggering uniformed Nazi goons. But as in everything, appearances are deceptive. Personally, he was probably tougher than they were.

2 of 2. Story cont. On the case was an engraved map of Germany with precious stones at Berchtesgarten, Bad Godesberg and Munich, the places where Czechoslovakia's fate had been decided by Hitler and Chamberlain. Hitler had given it to Chamberlain at Munich. Needless to say, Benes decided not to smoke. That Chamberlain could have done such an insensitive thing as to show this case to Benes is unbelievable!
mc0558 1 year ago
@bewareofthedogg You're absolutely right. After the Munich Agreement, Chamberlain's government began a break neck speed to rearm the country and prepare for war, especially in the production of fighter aircraft and bombers. It is hard to imagine our successes in the Battle of Britain without what we accomplished in that one year.

@loyaldude10 A lot of Brits had come to feel that WWI had been a waste of life--a war of imperialists. Pacifism was popular.

It took time, but in the end, they made that decision definitely and courageously.

@loyaldude10 Did not surrender?! There were more than a score of people in who ever thought for a moment that Britain would not win the war. Call them crazy, call them stupid, the English "knew" that Germany would lose. It was only a matter of time. Even Chamberlain, who knew another war would ruin the economy, believed that Britain's victory was inevitable. On the eve of war he wrote Hitler warning him that Britain would pull the whole world into the war against him.

@mc0558 The English started war on Germany in 1939, and by 1940 they were already defeated on the continent. As soon as the German army approached, your British grandfathers ran away head over heals. You ran away! hahaha
And since the whole British ran away from the Germans in Dunkirk 1940, they never dared coming back. The only thing they dared was killing German children from a safe distance in their planes, these fucking British cowards. How pathetic to shun the fight man-to-man.

The English lost against Germany after few months. Hitler was generous and let the whole British army of cowards get away, because he offered peace to Britain and France. But while your French pussy friends surrendered after only weeks, the British did not want peace. You British cowards than ran crying to your ugly fat American murder-friends, they saved your arse.
Germany is one of the greatest nation in the world, they could have taken your tiny island within weeks, if they had wanted to.

Anyway, in the months following Munich, the government built more fighter aircraft and the German's did, laying the groundwork for victory in the Battle of Britain. And finally he, Chamberlain drew the line over Poland. Remember, he declared war on Hitler not the otherway around.

@loyaldude10 Yes, he should have. In 1936, when Hitler broke the Locarno Pact by remilitarizing the Rhineland, would have been the perfect time. France and Britain could have stopped hitler in a week with no casualties. But the British like the fact that Hitler was anti-communist, they had come to feel that the Versailles Treaty, and they wanted to prevent war at all costs. So they took the pacifist route.
mc0558 1 year ago
@mc0558 Chamberlain wasn't Prime Minister in 1936. Stanley Baldwin was Prime Minister in 1936 and before him was Ramsey MacDonald from 1931 to 1935. Chamberlain didn't take the job until May 28th 1937, by which time Germany already had rearmed.
With Germany rearmament in 1935 Chamberlain, in his position as Chancellor of the exchequer, allocated increased funding to rearmament of the British military and the RAF in particular.

11nytram11 11 months ago
@11nytram11 Did I say Chamberlain or Britain? If I did I inadvertently misspoke. I was making the point that 1936 was the last year Britain and France could have intervened in Germany with relative ease and demanded Hitler's removal from office and the banning of the Nazi Party.After that, intervention became progressively more problematic, though even when war broke out the French Army should have been able to win it. They just to march on the Ruhr flat out. They didn't. cus Gamlin was yellow.
mc0558 11 months ago
@11nytram11 The big armament's budget was between the Munich Treaty and the outbreak of War. Chamberlain used that year to make up for military neglect of the past 20yrs. It is no exaggeration to say the UK won the 1940 Battle of Britain because of the airforce Chamberlain built in that one year. This alone makes the Munich Agreement was worthwhile. Anywayby Sept, 1938, it was already too late for UK/FR to stop Hitler without a major conflict. Of course, if the French Army had been better led...
mc0558 11 months ago

Some claim that most people feared Stalin at the time so having nazi-Germany as a powerful buffer state in Stalin's way was "clever planning". Ironically enough Stalin planned the same thing and hoped France and Britain would fight Germany for years and then he could deal the final blow to Hitler and "liberate" Europe.
Correct about 1936. Churchill blamed the French after war and said that all this could have been avoided if the French attacked Hitler in the Rhineland 1936.

Lupu needs to understand that at the time Palestine was under the post WW1 British Mandate and that Judea was merely a province of palestine. Additionally, the phrase 'international jewry' was a phrase concocted by Goebels. If anything the headline adds weight to the argument that the allied powers new full well about the Final Solution and chose not to intervene until 1939.

The newspaper at 0:36 is interesting because it shows the "international Jewry" that the Nazis were fighting against. I'm not excusing the holocaust, but I'm wondering how much of the anti-semitism of the time was credible and how much of that credibility has been covered up since.

"International jewery" found that Germany unlike Russia was a tough nut to crack so instead of a red revolution in 1919 Nationalist Germans crushed the jewish led Bolshevik movement in Germany through out the 1920's which eventually led to the appointment of Adolf Hitler as chancellor and unlike modern politicians he gave the people just what they wanted total victory over the jewish choke hold which has since swallowed the world except for the countries who like Germany kicked the merchant out!
odessaforever88 2 years ago
Churchill blindly followed the orders passed down by the jewish overlords to firebomb German civilians in 1940. Only after scores of Germans had been massacred did Hitler reciprocate. Nobody was able to see how Churchill could have possibly afforded the sprawling estate where he resided between WW1 and WW2. No doubt that Churchill was on the jewish payroll as war mongerer number one. Neville Chamberlain stated for the record that Churchill's barbarism was direct violation of international law.
