These assessments provided the governments in London, Paris, and Washington with ample information about the ruthlessness of the authorities in Germany and of their determination to conquer vast stretches of Europe. Had the British, French, and American leaders acted on this information and taken measures to rein in Hitler, the history of the twentieth century would have been far less bloody.National socialismPublic opinionDiplomatsGermanyAttitudesGermanyForeign public opinion, WesternWestern countriesForeign relationsGermanyGermanyForeign relationsWestern countriesGermanyForeign relations1933-1945GermanyPolitics and government1933-1945National socialismPublic opinion.DiplomatsAttitudes.943.086092Ascher Abraham1928-1021031MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910806900703321Was Hitler a riddle3953157UNINA
