Explanation:

You may be referring to Lord Halifax's peace overtures to the Nazis during the early part of World War 2.

Was it the correct thing to do at the time? It is worth reading JFC Fullers Decisive Battles of the Western World (Vol 2 abridged) on his take of negotiating with the Nazi's. He felt they (the Nazis) were a valuable barrier against Communism.

Churchill was adamantly against negotiation as he hated the Nazis (with some justification). He may have right but it was a long and bloody business defeating them.

I hope this answers your question.
