THE DUKE AND DUCHESS OF WINDSOR
MEET ADOLF HITLER 
July 13 1940 " I have made so many offers of agreement, even of co-operation, and have been treated shabbily that I am now convinced that any new appeal to reason would meet with a similar rejection. In that country at present, it is not reason that rules "
July 16 1940 " Since England shows no sign of willingness to come to terms, I have decided to prepare a landing operation against England and, if necessary to carry it out "
September 4 1940 " When the British Air Force drops two or three or four thousand kilograms of bombs, then we will, in one night drop 150-230-300-or 400.000 kilograms. When they declare that they will increase their attacks on our cities, then we will raze their cities to the ground "
On the 15 September 1940 the German Air Force suffered a heavy defeat over the skies of southern England. This resulted in the following statement by Hitler on October 12 1940 " I have decided that from now on until the spring, preparations for Sea Lion [The invasion of Britain] shall be continued solely for the purpose of maintaining political and military pressure on England. Should the invasion be reconsidered in the spring or early summer of 1941, orders for renewal of operational readiness will be issued later "
