World War II: Adolf Hitler - "The German Danger" - Report by Anthony Eden
"The German Danger," a 62-page report was compiled in 1936 by Anthony Eden. The future Prime Minister of the United Kingdom (April 6, 1955, to January 9, 1957) at the time was the British Foreign Affairs Minister. Eden assembled reports from the British embassy in Berlin, between the accession of Hitler to power in the spring of 1933 and the end of 1935.
This compilation is a collection of reports Eden received on Hitler dating from April 26, 1933, to January 6, 1936. Eden presented this compilation to the British War Cabinet in 1936.
Eden began the report by stating.
"I circulate to my colleagues a collection of reports from His's Majesty's Ambassadors at Berlin between the accession of Herr Hitler to power in the spring of 1933 and the end of 1935... They furnish a useful introduction or background to the study of the German problem as it presents itself to-day.
The most striking feature of this series of reports is the clear evidence which it contains of the steady and undeviating development under Hitler's guidance of German policy along certain definite and pre-ordained lines. These reports also reveal Hitler's almost unbroken success during the last three years in applying this policy in foreign affairs, and also the fact that from the very first he has been able to seize and keep the initiative in so doing.
Hitler's foreign policy may be summed up as the destruction of the peace Settlement and reestablishment of Germany as the dominant Power in Europe."
