Hitler's pleas for peace are ignored as the UK /French Alliance amasses 600,000 troops in Northern France. Plans are openly discussed to advance eastward upon Germany through Belgium and Holland, as well as establishing operations in neutral Norway and Denmark, with or without their consent.
REGARDING POLAND: "I attempted to find a tolerable solution . I submitted this attempt to the Poles. You know these proposals were more than moderate. The Polish Government refused these proposals and gave the order for the first mobilization, and my request to the Polish Foreign Minister to visit me to discuss these questions was refused. Instead of going to Berlin, he went to London.”

REGARDING FRANCE: "I have always expressed to France my desire to bury forever our ancient enmity and bring together these two nations, both of which have such glorious pasts."
- Reichstag Speech, October, 1939
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
REGARDING GREAT BRITAIN: "I have devoted no less effort to the achievement of Anglo-German understanding, no, more than that, of an Anglo-German friendship. At no time and in no place have I ever acted contrary to British interests..."Why should this war in the West be fought?"

REGARDING THE SOVIET UNION: "I did not seek war. To the contrary, I have done everything to avoid conflict. But I would forget my duty if I were to do nothing in spite of the realization that a conflict had become unavoidable. Soviet Russia is the gravest danger not only for Germany but for all of Europe, I decided to give the order to attack a few days before the outbreak of this conflict. A truly impressive amount of authentic material is now available which confirms that a Soviet attack was impending."

REGARDING THE UNITED STATES: "Despite the years of intolerable provocations by President Roosevelt, Germany sincerely and patiently tried to prevent the expansion of this war and to maintain relations with the United States. But as a result of his campaign, these efforts have failed."
