In 1928, Sir Horace Rumbold was appointed British ambassador to Berlin. In January 1933, Hitler was appointed Chancellor. Sir Horace's despatches to the Foreign Office were detailed and prescient warnings of the dangers of Hitler's rise to power. They fell on deaf ears and appeasement became the British government's policy. Later historians have recognised and praised Sir Horace's warnings. These are the illustrated - and slightly edited - despatches from that period.
