FOURTH HOUR

9/16: Coffee With Hitler: The Untold Story of the Amateur Spies Who Tried to Civilize the Nazis Hardcover – September 6, 2022 by  Charles Spicer  (Author)

 

https://www.amazon.com/Coffee-Hitler-Untold-Amateur-Civilize/dp/1639362266

 

"How might the British have handled Hitler differently?” remains one of history’s greatest "what ifs."

Coffee with Hitler tells the astounding story of how a handful of amateur British intelligence agents wined, dined, and befriended the leading National Socialists between the wars. With support from royalty, aristocracy, politicians, and businessmen, they hoped to use the recently founded Anglo-German Fellowship as a vehicle to civilize and enlighten the Nazis.
