Hitler's failed meeting with Churchill

In August 1932, at the Palatial Hotel Continental in Munich, Winston Churchill visits the battlefields of Europe and is invited to dinner by Ernst Hamptschtangle, a member of the Nazi party. Hamptschtangle hopes to introduce Churchill to Adolf Hitler, but Hitler refuses to attend the dinner, considering Churchill insignificant and in opposition. The missed opportunity leaves Churchill unimpressed with Hitler, who later regrets not seizing the chance to meet Churchill.
