Episode Summary
***************
Pug Henry accompanies American banker Luigi 
Gianelli on a diplomatic mission to Italy to see
if Il Duce will meet with a peace envoy. The 
Italian dictator agrees but when the same 
approach is made to Hitler, he declines. Pug's
wife Rhoda is bored out of her mind living in 
Berlin and is thrilled when they are invited for
a hunting weekend to the home of an ultra-rich 
banker, Wolf Stoller. Pug is aware however that
Stoller has made his fortune by forcing Jews to
sells their businesses for only a fraction of 
their value. The German invasion of Western 
Europe in the spring of 1940 results in Neville
Chamberlain's resignation and the appointment of
Winston Churchill as Prime Minister. It also puts
to rest any U.S. peace initiative. The Henry clan
reunite in the U.S. for Warren's marriage to 
Janice Lacouture, the daughter of a well-known
isolationist Congressman. Byron and Natalie get
engaged but any plans for marriage are put on 
hold while Byron decides whether to attend 
submarine school.
