When Nazis threatened to precipitate a crisis by disregarding Polish authorities, he sent an ultimatum to the Nazi Danzig Senate, demanding that interference cease-but added a conciliatory offer to negotiate, postponing a showdown. When the Senate agreed to negotiate, the frontier...
...also said it could be gained without war. Leaving this riddle for the world to ponder, he then vanished into the mountains like a figure from Wagnerian mythology.
