British appeasement of Nazi Germany in the years preceeding the Second World War remains one of the most interesting questions of the inter-war periods because it is hard to understand how the British government could have been so badly mistaken about Adolf Hitler's plans for German expansion into eastern Europe. This paper attempts to understand the part played by the British press in the policy of appeasement. Its conclusion is that the press not only supported that policy but that it also probably helped to create and sustain a climate of public opinion favorable to appeasement. The information about Hitler and the Nazi party conveyed to the British newsreading public was extremely influential in shaping British perceptions of Germany because of the lack of alternative sources of information.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a British appeasement of Nazi Germany in the years preceeding the Second World War remains one of the most interesting questions of the inter-war periods because it is hard to understand how the British government could have been so badly mistaken about Adolf Hitler's plans for German expansion into eastern Europe. This paper attempts to understand the part played by the British press in the policy of appeasement. Its conclusion is that the press not only supported that policy but that it also probably helped to create and sustain a climate of public opinion favorable to appeasement. The information about Hitler and the Nazi party conveyed to the British newsreading public was extremely influential in shaping British perceptions of Germany because of the lack of alternative sources of information.
520 $a The British press, having misinterpreted National Socialism and its leader from its origins in the 1920's and during its rise to power in the early 1930's, continued to believe throughout the period that Hitler was a moderate politician with whom the British government could negotiate a new European peace settlement to replace the supposedly out-dated Versailles Treaty. Press endorsement for appeasement was clearly reflected in Britain's major national publications, most of which supported every major cabinet decision for the illegal remilitarization of Germany announced by Hitler in March, 1935 through the Munich crisis of September, 1939.
520 $a The press as a whole shared with the British people certain basic feelings that strongly affected its reaction to Hitler's regime. Most important of these was an overwhelming desire for peace at almost any cost, making any effective opposition by Nazi aggression virtually impossible. Other factors included Britain's preoccupation with its domestic affairs, especially the economic problems brought on by the Depression, and strong anti-communist sentiment. The press itself, however, must bear the responsibility for creating an image of Hitler as a respectable international leader, thereby fostering a false hope that Britain could placate Germany's "grievances" without either jeopardizing Britain's major European interests or involving the nation in armed conflict. The press clung to its misconceptions about Nazi Germany in spite of a great deal of evidence to the contrary, resulting in continued support for appeasement long after that policy had demonstrated its bankruptcy.
520 $a For the purposes of this study a wide-ranging field of national publications was used, including those of both conservative and liberal political leanings. Of particular concern was the role played by the "popular" press, as it had previously been virtually ignored in favor of the "quality" press in studies of this kind.
