After Hitler rejected British and French concessions to give Germany parts of the Sudetenland, the British people began to prepare for war. Bomb drills were held and people began to dig trenches. The following text is an excerpt from a speech given by Neville Chamberlain that was broadcast on British radio on September 27, 1938.

How horrible, fantastic, incredible it is that we should be digging trenches and trying on gas-masks here because of a quarrel in a faraway country between people of whom we know nothing. . . . I am myself a man of peace to the depths of my soul; armed conflict between nations is a nightmare to me. . . . War is a fearful thing, and we must be very clear before we embark on it, that it is really the great issues that are at stake.

–Neville Chamberlain,
September 27, 1938
