British Official Reports on Berchtesgaden Visit
British officials say the high commissioner did not consult London before visiting Berchtesgaden and did not seek approval for the trip, though he informed Britain he was invited by Hitler. He was familiar with Britain's stance on Danzig and may have voiced his views. Britain offered a peace plan if acceptable to Poland and moved Poland-related guarantees into a formal treaty. Burckhardt described reports of mediating as fantastic and said he could provide an objective view later, while German leaders deny the league’s relevance.
