When Chamberlain met with Hitler on September 15 at the Burghof, Hitler's Berchtesgaden mountain retreat, he came away with a hopelessly mistaken impression of the German leader, writing to one of his sisters that "in spite of the hardness and ruthlessness I thought I saw in his face, I got the impression that here was a man who could be relied upon when he had given his word."
