you were right i was wrong.
Found it
And it was the question that got me looking at Chamberlain in a different light
I did follow the ‘popular view’ of him regarding the appeasing. But I’m not sure (in his position) I’d have done much differently to him without the benefit of hindsight we currently have.
Does that mean I’m prepared to look at Haig in a different light? Probably not
I think it's a fascinating thing and I'm reading up about the time between the wars now.
I think the British were sympathetic to the Germans given how punitive Versailles was and especially when coupled with the financial crash that decimated the German economy. Every economy in the world was crippled yet Germany was still paying back very heavy reparations, which was very much driven by the French.
German expansion was also primarily into areas that were considered a 'Greater German' area - Austria, the Sudetenland. These were areas that probably wanted to be part of a greater German reich anyway.
Just as importantly, the horror of the first world war was still in everyone's mind and nobody wanted a repeat of it - and understandably so.
It's also worth noting that anti-Semitism wasn't just confined to Germany. There were (are ) plenty of anti-semites in the UK and other European countries. The sympathy for Jews might not have been so high, particularly given that they were unaware of the final solution.
I have sympathy and understanding for Chamberlain. He was in an impossible situation.

I know it’s fiction but I have recently watched a mini-series called War and Remembrance and in that, high ranking U.S. Officials were being presented with clear evidence of the ethnic cleansing and were choosing to either ignore it or claim the evidence had been falsified.
<All I remember was in an early episode it made the following points>
You remember 5 complete quotes but not the title.
Musta been 'Mein Kampf'.
AKA 'How I Meant Well But Was Misunderstood'.
