Perhaps if Churchill had been Prime Minister rather than Chamberlain - - who knows? Maybe the combined forces of the Czechs, the French and the British could have stopped the Germans in 1938. I think on balance the Germans would have prevailed, but would have taken losses, and maybe not gone on to Poland in 1939. Would the fate of the German Jews have been any different? Probably not, but maybe the fate of the rest of Europe's Jews would have been different. Not to mention the Poles, the Russians, and all the rest of the non-Jews who were slaughtered. It is also possible that the German generals would have taken Hitler out rather than allow a premature aggressive war - - they were aiming for 1940, and were not prepared for 1938, for sure. 1939 was the earliest.
