The British government even tried to appease Hitler economically. In the words of H.N. Brailsford England tried to buy peace, if possible, without direct loss to oneself. Robert S Hudson, head of the English Board of Trade gave Hitler a billion-pound loan.

Just found this and wondered if Hitler got any money in the end and was there anything that Hitler would have to promise before getting the money? When exactly did this take place? ANybody know?
