"Workers covered the windows of government offices with sandbags and installed sirens in police stations to warn of approaching enemy bombers. By torchlight, they scarred the city’s pristine parks by digging miles of trenches to be used as air-raid shelters. A knot of traffic snarled the city as Londoners began an exodus. Hundreds of thousands who planned to stay in the city stood patiently in line for government-issued gas masks and air-raid handbooks. London Zoo officials even developed plans to station gun-toting men in front of cages to shoot the wild animals in case bombs broke open their cages and freed them."
Hitler had given a deadline to the world. 'Give me what I want, or there will be war.'
Britain lost a million souls in the War to End War. With 48 hours before Hitler's deadline, France and England met with two dictators, Hitler and Mussolini.
Neville Chamberlain came home and offered us 'Peace in Our Time.'
Britain got a few months of peace. Chamberlain got rave reviews for a time. The entire British island went all party city in celebration of peace.
How long that peace lasted after a direct negotiation with the 'leader of the Free World' and two dictators, Hitler and Mussolini.
North Korea will revisit the volatile stance toward our country. When it benefits their internal needs.
