11th Armoured Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I shudder to think what sort of a world we would have now if he had remained King... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RattlesnakeBob Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 (edited) I would say , even vaguely believing that he could somehow have talked Hitler out of his absolutely determined (although to be fair, rather well hidden) intention of going to war was wishful thinking and extremely naive of him at best.....and also sadly.... reveals how inept and disasterous a King he would have been for this country.. I am yet again reminded of what some German Politician said of Hitler ...something like ..." everyone believed they could manipulate and control him for their own ends.......until they realised he could not be controlled ..and by then... it was too late ..."
