Bigfun, Holland was only invaded because of its geographic position. It wasn't Hilter's fault that a tiny contry existed between Germany and France.
Why should he have? When he took office was on 10 May 1940. Germany was still at war with the UK and France. France and the UK were allies and Germany was invading France. Are you suggesting that Chruchill should have negotiated with Germany AFTER it had attacked and invaded France? UK's ally? Once again WHY? Britain wasn't losing the war.
