Continuing, Herr Hitler claimed that he had carried on a practical peace policy, the most difficult problem of which was German-Polish relationship, It was true there was democracy in Poland.
Democracies, he said, were full of peace phrases but were the most "bloody war inciters."
The Fuehrer expressed the conviction that the German-Polish agreement would provide lasting peace. Poland would always want access to the sea, The understanding reached was worth more than all the idle chatter in the League of Nations palace.
"Offered England My Hand"
Referring to England's intervention, Herr Hitler said he explained to Mr. Neville Chamberlain the only possible solution. He assured him that he would not continue to watch how this madman handled three and a half million people. He left in no doubt that Germany's patience had come to an end, England and France, he stated, advised Czechoslovakia to secede German. territory, instead of which Dr. Benes drove out the Germans. Dr. Benes sat in Prague and said: "England and France will back me."
