Final Report By the Right Honourable Sir Nevile Henderson G.C.M.G. on the Circumstances Leading to the Termination of His Mission to Berlin: September 20, 1939. [and] Papers Concerning the Treatment of German Nationals in Germany 1938-1939.

Final Report by the Right Honourable Sir Nevile Henderson and Papers Concerning the Treatment of German Nationals in Germany are two important documents from the prelude to World War II that reflect Britain’s diplomatic concerns with Nazi Germany. Sir Nevile Henderson’s final report, written in 1939, outlines his tenure as Britain’s ambassador to Germany, detailing his efforts at negotiation and his increasing awareness of the Nazi regime’s aggressive intentions. Henderson’s account sheds light on Britain’s appeasement policy and the challenges of diplomacy under Hitler's totalitarian rule. In contrast, Papers Concerning the Treatment of German Nationals in Germany documents the widespread persecution of German nationals, particularly Jews and political dissidents, by the Nazi government, serving as a formal British response to the human rights abuses occurring within Germany. Together, these documents offer insight into the complex political landscape of Europe in the late 1930s, illustrating the tensions between diplomatic efforts, moral concerns, and the looming threat of war.
