Anthony Eden had plucked up courage to ignore wholly unproved German charges that a Leftist Spanish torpedo or submarine had "grazed and dented" the German cruiser Leipzig. Finally, the German Ambassador to Britain, Joachim von Ribbentrop, extremely unpopular in London, was supposed to have been only bluffing when he demanded, a few days prior, that Britain and France join Germany and Italy in staging a mighty four-power naval demonstration off Valencia to warn the Spanish Leftist Government not to do any more "denting" with submarines...
