...activities of the Führer "to achieve good relations" with Great Britain, France, Italy, Belgium, The Netherlands, Yugoslavia, Hungary and Lithuania. The Führer is quoted (cracking back when British Ambassador Sir Nevile Henderson complained of German noncooperation with Britain) : "It takes two to make a love match." In the fourth and final section, "Poland as the Tool of England's War Will," the German White Book duplicates many of the British Blue Book's documents on the August 1939 crisis, but omits altogether the German-Soviet Pact, the curtain raiser to World...
