  Robert Vansittart, 1st Baron Vansittart at AllExperts
Vansittart was suspicious of Hitler from the start; anything Hitler said, he claimed, was "for foreign consumption" and thought he would start another European war as soon as he "felt strong enough".
Vansittart thought that in either case time should be "bought for rearmament" by an economic agreement with Germany and by appeasing "genuine grievance[s]" about colonies.
Vansittart wanted to detach Mussolini from Hitler and thought that the British Empire was an "incubus" and that the Continent was the central British national interest but he had a doubt whether agreement could be had there.

  H-Net Review: Patrick Salmon on Vansittart: Britische Debatten über Deutsche und Nazis 1902-1945   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Vansittart's reputation in Germany was based not so much on his long diplomatic career as on his role as an anti-German publicist following his elevation to the House of Lords as Baron Vansittart of Denham in 1941.
Moreover, Vansittart's priorities were usually correct: he was one of the few in wartime to draw attention to the mass murder of Jews.
Vansittart's analysis was undermined by over-simplification and prejudice: his theory of nationalism could not explain the apocalyptic element in Hitler's thinking ("total victory or total destruction"), nor the impulse that lay behind the program of racial extermination.

 [No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
A career diplomat, author, and Permanent under-secretary of the British Foreign Office, Sir Robert Gilbert Vansittart makes his mark above all as a Germanophobe warning of the looming danger of Nazi Germany and calling for immediate British rearmament among diplomats bent on appeasing Hitler.
Vansittart's militant outlook is eventually dubbed Vansittartism - a belief that the conduct of German foreign policy ever since modern Germany's inception in 1870 is inherantly inclined to aggression.
Vansittart could recall no major foreign policy issue on which his advice had been heeded.

 Behind Vansittart's Promotion (The Nation, January 22, 1938)
The appointment of Robert Gilbert Vansittart as Britain's Chief Diplomatic Adviser responsible directly to the British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs appears on general grounds, leaving aside all personal considerations, to be a reactionary measure which justifies grave apprehension.
The functions of the new officer will be analogous to those fulfilled by the occupants of the similar posts attached to other departments and will include advising the British Secretary of State upon all major questions of policy concerning foreign affairs remitted to him for that purpose.

 Jim's Mailings
Vansittart espoused a Germanophobic doctrine—which became known as vansittartism—that held that the conduct of German war leaders from the time of the Franco-German War (1870–71) had had the wholehearted support of the German people and that Germany had to be permanently demilitarized to ensure against future agression.
Vansittart was regarded by Neville Chamberlain as a hindrance to the British government's efforts to reach a settlement with Hitler.

 LIPSTADT: Denying the Holocaust 4 (1993)
Vansittart, who was an anti-Nazi, is often singled out by revisionists and deniers as one of those chiefly responsible for pushing England to adopt anti-German policies.
In response to Barnes's attacks, Vansittart decided to sue for libel and asked the prominent American lawyer, Louis Nizer, to represent him.
[Vansittart] is a hard, aggressive fighter as his books have shown and when he chose Nizer as his counsel he picked the man who got a $100,000 verdict against Victor Ridder, which the judge cut to $50,000.

No better friend of France ever lived than Sir Robert Gilbert Vansittart, who for more than a generation in the British Foreign Office fought valiantly for Franco-British solidarity.
When Neville Chamberlain became Prime Minister in 1937 and set out to appease the dictators, he kicked Sir Robert upstairs from his post as Permanent Under Secretary to a vague something called Chief Diplomatic Adviser to the Foreign Secretary.
He expressed it, as many an Englishman would, in a letter to the London Times.
