Chamberlain’s PR Work for Hitler




Mail on Sunday: Reports on secret talks between Chamberlain’s Press Secretary George Steward and the German Embassy in 1938, the talks were about making Nazi Germany look better to the British. This blog is not normally shocked folks, but this story has even thrown this blog, making Nazi Germany look better to us Brits, what was Chamberlain thinking, and I used that word with caution. But its not new folks, during World Wart Two the Soviet Union was given good press, yes even Stalin. Lets recall the liberal New York Times covered up for Stalin. In the present context the visit by former Labour PM Tony Blair when PM to Libya has echoes of Chamberlain’s PR work for Hitler. But folks it was a lousy idea in 1938 and when Blair went to Libya. One does wish politicians would learn some history, at least Blair never appeased Iraq, he just invaded.
