British Commander: This is our 1937 moment. What really happened then?

During the press conference, General Patrick Sanders compared the war in Ukraine to the situation in 1937, at the beginning of World War II. That year, Neville Chamberlain became Prime Minister of Great Britain. Politicians pursue a policy of concessions to Nazi Germany, which was preparing for war. Chamberlain hoped to prevent war at all costs.

– This is our moment from 1937. We are going through a difficult period of history as our ancestors did, General Patrick Sanders said at a press conference on Tuesday. – We’re not at war, but we have to act quickly so we don’t get dragged into it for failing to stop territorial expansion. “I will do everything in my power to ensure that British troops play an important role in avoiding war,” he said. – But to be clear, the British army is not mobilizing to provoke war – it is mobilizing to prevent this war – he added.

General Sanders: We are a generation that must prepare soldiers for another war in Europe

General Patrick Sanders took command of the British Army two weeks ago. Early in his tenure, he wrote in letters to his soldiers about the challenges he faced. He later stated that his “single task” was to “make the British army as deadly and effective as possible.”

“Now there is an urgent need to create an army capable of fighting alongside our allies and defeating Russia in battle,” he said. “We are a generation that must prepare soldiers to fight again in Europe,” he added. He also stressed that he was the first commander of the British army since 1941 to carry out his duties during the war in Europe with the participation of continental powers.
