Split Thread WWII & Appeasement

Henri McPhee said:
I still think Chamberlain was right when he once said Churchill suffered from a want of judgment in regard to appeasement.

Yes, we get it, you hate Churchill. Further, when did Chamberlain say this?

There is such a thing as diplomacy.

Exactly how do you believe that the Sudeten crisis could have been resolved by diplomacy, other than by caving in to all of Hitler's demands? Further, as I've mentioned, and you've repeatedly ignored, appeasement was a diplomatic disaster for Britain and France.

There were Americans who said Churchill could have been the American president if his father had been American.

Irrelevant.

It's interesting to me that Churchill suffered assassination attempts and threats before the war from the Irish and Indians, as did Chamberlain. It is not a phenomenon that started after the second world war.

When were there ever any actual assassination attempts against Churchill or Chamberlain?
 
Henri, we're still waiting for you to explain, in detail, among other things:

  • How Germany was going to invade Britain, or bomb it into submission, if the war had started in 1938
  • How Germany was going to conquer France in 1939 after having fought Czechoslovakia
  • Why Chamberlain gave the treaty ports back to Ireland, if he knew war was inevitable
  • Why Chamberlain didn't do much more to strengthen the military before Germany occupied the rump of Czechoslovakia, if he knew war was inevitable

Wow, Henri let the thread sleep for three weeks this time.

He's saving up to spring out at us with his all new Summer special secret information - that Germany could win the war against Britain in 1938 with its air & barge power. All this proven by a quote to an obscure website where someone said this....

Do you know how hard it is to find suitable quotes to misquote and misrepresent?

He didn't even bother with that this time. I think he is just hoping to make a post with no one answering so he can declare victory.
 
Henri, we've been over this several times - it does not matter how big the Luftwaffe was - it was incapable of delivering effective blows to Britain due to a lack of heavy bomber force and a lack of range.
 
I'm guessing this was a soundbite from some documentary Henri spent five minutes half listening to.

The Luftwaffe was twice the size of the RAF in 1937.

As we've discussed, ad nauseam as usual, even if this were true, the Luftwaffe had no aircraft capable of bombing Britain from Germany in 1937, and fewer than 200 by late 1938. Further, as usual you attempt to pretend that Britain would have had to have faced Germany alone. Fail.
