What do a pacifist Welsh historian, a Great War flying ace and a butterfly collecting businessman have in common? During the 1930s, they offered the British government better intelligence on the horrifying rise of the Nazis than anyone else. Drawing on newly discovered primary sources, Coffee with Hitler tells the astounding and poignant story - for the first time - of this handful of amateur British intelligence agents who wined, dined and befriended the leading National Socialists. With support from royalty, aristocracy, politicians and businessmen, they hoped to use the much-mythologised Anglo-German Fellowship as a vehicle to civilise the Nazis.
