Just read the most amazing story on the BBC news (Sorry I can't do blue clicky things). Seemingly an old Etonian, James Lonsdale-Bryanstried wished to make a peace deal with Germany in World War II. He proposed that Germany could have a "free hand" in Europe while Britain ran the rest of the world. MI5 files released under the Freedom of Information Act show that security service officials knew of the Rome trip and did not try to stop it. He proposed that the world should be divided up into German and British spheres of influence, the Germans being given a more or less free hand in Europe. It would appear he had support for his plan and wasn't discouraged.
