Quote #7
BALDWIN: I have found it impossible to believe that there is any man in the world so lacking in moral feeling as Hitler, but the world might be hurled for a second time into the abyss of destructive war.
Prime Minster Baldwin's biggest mistake was underestimating the evil of Adolph Hitler.
Quote #8
BERTIE: I have to tell you now that no such undertaking has been received, and that consequently this country is at war with Germany.
The day finally comes when Bertie has to announce that England has gone to war with Germany. Memories of World War One are still fresh in many people's eyes, and no one is happy about what's happening. But to be fair, the reasons for getting into World War Two (like stopping Hitler) are pretty good ones.
Quote #9
BERTIE: This morning the British Ambassador in Berlin handed the German Government a final note stating that unless we heard from them by 11 o'clock that they were prepared at once to withdraw their troops from Poland, a state of war would exist between us.
Bertie's government made things clear to Germany. Get out of Poland or we'll be at war. Germany hasn't gotten out of Poland, so that's that.
