    Well as they say hindsight is 20/20. Even though I might not agree with his appeasement policy, I also have to take in account that this was a generation that had seen the slaughter fields of the First World War. So who knows.....had I been there I might have agreed to appeasment.

    But trusting Hitler in any fashion was a huge mistake....I think they should have watched him a lot more closely. There were a few chances to stop his rise but nothing was done.
    To doubt everything or to believe everything are two equally convenient solutions; both dispense with the necessity of reflection.
