The Hitler peace offensive, which included copious threats of a "blood-bath" unless neutrals persuaded the allies to negotiate, has utterly failed. No neutral nation has taken up the offer of Herr Hitler, whose blustering diplomacy is taken as an indication of weakness rather than strength.
This effort to prevent the inauguration of war on an intensive scale has been in line with predictions before Hitler's armies marched into Poland. It was Der Fuehrer's idea that, after the Polish question was settled, France and England would be willing to call off a "useless" war.
The answer of the British and French, through responsible leaders, has been that peace and security in Europe are impossible as long as Germany's great offensive power threatens smaller nations, that no confidence can be placed upon the word of the present German government and that something more than words will be required before the allies can proceed to negotiate a general settlement of European issues.

Event Details
The Hitler peace offensive, including threats of a 'blood-bath' unless neutrals persuaded the Allies to negotiate, has failed. It aimed to prevent intensive war after Poland's settlement, expecting France and England to end the 'useless' war. British and French leaders state peace is impossible while Germany threatens smaller nations, distrust the German government, and require more than words for negotiations.
