Default The Day the Royal British Legion met Hitler - Interesting Video

According to the narrator of the video, as the Royal British Legion was moving offices they stumbled onto a video of a delegation that was sent to meet with Hitler.

Quote:
The footage shows the British delegation on a peace-mission to Germany in 1935, before the outbreak of World War Two.

Five Legion officials came face to face with Hitler at an unexpected meeting at his Chancellery and are seen shaking hands with his deputy Rudolph Hess.

During their trip, the Legionnaires were also taken on a tour of Germany's first concentration camp at Dachau before having supper with Himmler, the head of the SS.

They also met reconstructive surgeon Karl Gebhardt who, a year after their visit, joined the SS and later performed surgical experiments on inmates at Auschwitz.

Theres a video there as well, but I thought that bolded part was particularly interesting.

They were taken on a tour of a Concentration Camp? They didnt think something was up?
