re: #323 Dr Lizardo
That was also one of the reasons he didn’t allow the Wehrmacht to go in and take out the BEF; though it may sound bizarre, he was trying to show the Brits he was willing to accommodate - and work with - the British Empire, as long as they gave him carte blanche in Europe.
Which was ignoring history since the UK *never* let any one country get carte blanche in Europe. And often took steps to avoid it happening or to reverse it when it started to happen.
