"The Umbrella Man"

Anybody have an umbrella? Pre-World War II Europe was a Nazi storm. Hitler was flexing his muscles and seeing how far he could push his control into adjacent countries. Only one country in Europe was even pretending to stand up to him, and that was Great Britain. Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, depicted here, saw the cloud of the Nazi storm start to spread over the European continent and tried to stop Hitler’s rain from dampening more lands in Europe than just Austria and Poland.
