The Deaths ofAustria and Czechoslovakia - Part 3
It is a perfectly valid argument that Munich is the military's shame. The combined Allied High Commands must have know Germany's military strength and should have insisted that their individual governments listen to whatever plan they might have presented to confront Hitler with force, and not talk.

A Decision to Abstain: Labour vs. Hitler, 1936-7, Part II
Between 1935 and 1937, a major transformation took place within the Labour Party regarding its policies toward rearmament, Appeasement and Hitler. During this time, the Party jettisoned its prior policies of disarmament and collective security through the League of Nations and instead, by 1937, accepted the fact that rearmament was needed if Britain were to stand up to Hitler. Part II of a two part series.

H7 Escapes the Nazis (Part II of II)
For five years, King Håkon, or H7 as loyal Norwegians would come to call him in their hastily scrawled grafitti, led the resistance from Britain. In radio messages and through the press, he urged Norwegians to remain above all, Norwegian in mind and spirit, and too keep fighting for their country. He returned home on June 7, the exact anniversary of his departure, a hero of the Norwegian resistance and of the restoration.
