Just one thing regarding Halifax himself...

"By July 1940 Halifax initialled stern Foreign Office rejection of German peace feelers from the Papal Nuncio in Berne, Dr. Salazar in Lisbon and the Finnish Prime Minister..."
But Halifax didnt have the power to entertain peace offers then as Churchill was Prime Minister.

Halifax stated in June that "we should look at any peace offer made by Germany" to Churchill but Churchill refused to look at any.
