unemployed. There are numerous indications

in the last two months of increased activity

in the German armaments industry’

‘Hitler had chosen his moment carefully.

Britain and France were more concerned

about Mussolini’s invasion of Abyssinia. The

French government was divided and not

prepared to act without the support of Brit-

ain. Britain felt that Hitler was doing nothing

wrong. The Treaty of Versailles was unjust and

therefore Hitler was right to change it.

Germany was only moving troops into its own

territory. It was not like Mussolini, who had

invaded another country. No one wanted war

and people took far more notice of Hitler’s

promises. At the end of March, Hitler held a

vote in Germany on his policies: 99 per cent

of those who voted were in favour of them’.

‘The 48 hours after the march into

the Rhineland were the most

nerve—racking of my life. If the

French had then marched into the

Rhineland, we would have to

withdraw with our tails between our

legs, for our military resources would

have been wholly inadequate for

even a moderate resistance’.
