I think the British government was at their perfidious best during the WWII era. They did not like Nazi Germany or marxist France. When the dust settled in 1945 both had been destroyed and the British...

A nice thought. Unfortunately Britain did not enter WWII to save the Jews, Poles, Ukranians or anyone else. Britain fought to protect what they perceived as their own national interests. Just like...

I agree completely. However, if the British and French hadn't caved Hitler wouldn't have just been humiliated. He would have been removed from power by the Army. The whole sequence of events from then...
