Abstract
September 24. [1938] Yesterday, the Godesberg talks broke down, because Hitler wouldn’t give a satisfactory answer to Chamberlain’s demand that he should promise to withhold from violence during the talks. Later, we heard that the Czechs had mobilized. Fisch said, on the telephone, ‘War is inevitable. London will be bombed within two or three days.’ I went to bed and took a sleeping tablet.
From Down There on a Visit (London: Methuen, 1962) pp. 191–3.
