everyone knew it was happening eventually

Well, depending on what year we are talking, those that had "read and re-read Mein Kampf until he almost memorized it" like Litvinov in 1928 probably would have, but "[a]s late as 1936 [...] Benes, Herriot, Daladier, Eden and others had not read it." Not to mention "In October 1938—after Munich—Neville Chamberlain instructed the Foreign Office to translate some excerpts for him" (Pope, Maxim Litvinov, pp. 317–18. Quoted in Fleming, The Cold War and Its Origins, chapter 4, note 14)

It's always a massive flex to be able to link epubs you've created, haha. Great work!
