No, royal rob, it is, as you say, all very interesting, and sheds a light once more on a horrible period of European history.
However, I don't think you can blame Britain or the BRF (even Edward) for what was going on in Germany after Hitler came to power. The British were still traumatised by four years of war and the loss of nearly a million men (including a brother of Elizabeth's) and so preferred to regard Hitler and the Nazis as at first, figures of fun and then increasing irritations, until it was almost too late.
You are right, Curryong.
If anyone back in 1933 would have suggested the idea that the Nazis should, let alone would, commit industrialized genocide the vast majority, even among the Nazis, would consider it half-mad ramblings.
Mussolini was no doubt the most well known fascist leader at the time and many in Britain, also within the BRF, would no doubt consider him a somewhat comical figure rather than a serious danger.
But there were fascist movements all over Europe (and Japan) at the time. Even though the majority of these movements were still of minor importance.
And there were several authoritarian regimes in Europe at the time as well, not to mention the Soviet Union.
The idea of a "strong leader" wasn't as unpalatable then as it is now.
That the Nazis back then were anti-Semitic was hardly headline news! Jews were persecuted with more or less enthusiasm outside Germany as well, in other countries they were barely tolerated. So in the eyes of outsiders the Nazis were just another movement blaming the Jews for everything.
Even supposedly well-informed and well educated people at the time had a wrong impression of the fascist movements. While at the same time,
and that is important, they were scared of the Communists.
Another thing is that racism was not politically incorrect at the time. In fact it was taught in schools and shown in movie-documentaries. That includes racism towards Jews.
If this movie had been made in 1953 then there would be just cause for condemnation. But I can't blame people back in 1933 for not being able to see into the future.
