Part of storyAdolf HitlerView in story ›

Time: Friday Apr 1, 1938

Details: In a speech in Wilhelmshaven for the launch of the battleship Tirpitz on 1 April, he threatened to denounce the Anglo-German Naval Agreement if the British continued to guarantee Polish independence, which he perceived as an "encirclement" policy.

Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
