We all remember Mr. Chamberlain as the great appeaser, which he was up to a point. But he finally understood the Nazi menace, while the Democrats utterly fail to grasp the true horror offered by militant Islam.Neville drew his line in the sands of shifting fortunes and honored his commitments to Poland on September 1st, 1939, when the panzers and the Luftwaffe, in their first real test, crushed the Polish cavalry and massacred the Polish air force in the air and on the ground in record time.
In the time leading up to this drama, however, the government of Mr. Chamberlain had witnessed the re-occupation of the Rhineland in 1936, the delirious Anschluss with Austria in March of 1938, the swallowing of the Sudetenland in late September of 1938, followed by the occupation of the remaining rump of Czechoslovakia in March of 1939.
Gradually, the early zest for appeasement lost its taste along the timeline of Hitler's continual lust for land, peoples to enslave, industries to steal, and national treasures to plunder.
