Carried away by his 99% election responsibility, the Realmleader announced that he would call the new Reichstag and shout his counterproposals at it at the same moment they were being delivered in London. His Minister of Propaganda & Public Enlightenment Paul Joseph Goebbels told him the world had had enough Nazi stump-speaking for the present. A 19-day "oratorical armistice" was thereupon declared for all Germany. Into the silence came bad news. The British had decided to fulfill their legal duty under the Locarno Pact, to engage in military staff conversations with France and Belgium to prepare for possible "unprovoked...
...Hours. It would have been hoped by pro-Germans in the Baldwin Cabinet that Joachim von Ribbentrop would have something new to offer or suggest.

"No people succumbed more completely to the magic power of this fantasy than the Germans. ... We had been dragged into the War, for whose outbreak we were exactly as guiltless, or as guilty, as other peoples. . . . That peace which was intended to be the final stone laid on the cover...
...struggle for German equality as over. . . . We have no territorial demands to make in Europe. . . . Numerous cares have weighed me down and uncounted sleepless nights. ... I never felt myself as Dictator of my people but only and always as its Leader. ... I have therefore decided to dissolve the German Reichstag so that the German people by their ballots may now pass judgment on my leadership and on that of my associates...
