I mean to his credit, it was true that a portion of British high society had clear sympathies towards the Nazis when they came to power. Even the British ambassador to Germany in the late 1930s, Neville Henderson, didn’t care to hide his esteem for the Nazis and his personal liking for many of them. He wasn’t the only one in the British government with this view, while on the flipside considering the French belligerent for sounding the alarm bell.
It’s only when Hitler clearly overstepped that the British had to take a tougher stance on Hitler. But many of those Britons, including Neville Henderson, believed Hitler to be in the right during the Sudetenland crisis (falling for the narrative of poor aggrieved German minorities).
