Origins of the Second World War

Chamberlain’s special pride, the Anglo-German declaration of friendship, soon lost its glitter. - pg 198
see Anglo-German Declaration of 1938:

A declaration of nonaggression signed by the British prime minister, N. Chamberlain, and the fascist dictator of Germany, A. Hitler, on Sept. 30, 1938, in Munich, immediately after the conclusion of the Munich agreement of 1938. The declaration—in essence a nonaggression pact between Great Britain and Germany—gave fascist Germany full freedom of action with respect to the USSR.

Bonnet was jealous of Chamberlain’s private pact with Hitler, and aspired to outdo it. Ribbentrop believed that a Franco-German declaration of friendship would further shake British resolution to interfere in Europe. On 6 December he visited Paris; and a declaration of this sort was signed. - pg 199
