Poland is not going to give up Danzig nor agree to a rigged plebiscite for the Polish Corridor.
Great Britain and France are not selling another nation out to Hitler, least of all for a proposal as blatantly rigged as the one mentioned.
Hitler, far from being delighted was enraged over Munich, feeling it had cheated him. This gives a good idea into how he would have felt about a second such settlement.
Hitler is not throwing out the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact for a fraction of what he expects to get from Poland very soon by force.
Hitler had already set upon the invasion of Poland on September 1, 1939 as non-negotiable and resented even this delay from late August.
The last proposal handed to Sir Neville Henderson as he was leaving for London, the peace initiative recognized as having failed, was a non-starter and treated with appropriate contempt by everyone as it was clear Hitler made an offer no other party would accept in hopes of avoiding total responsibility for the outbreak of war.
The premise that Hitler simply stumbled into war rather than going out of his way to force it is, of course, utter nonsense.
