Another such would-be mediator between the Nazi and British governments in 1939-40 was a senior General Motors Overseas Division executive named James D. Mooney. GM's principal overseas asset was the Opel works in Germany, and he spent a great deal of time in Europe during those months, including Berlin and London, trying to facilitate an end to the war before the Western Front broke loose in May 1940 (and then argued publicly for isolationism after returning home to the United States). His papers are at Georgetown University in Washington D.C., including an unpublished book-length account of his thinking and efforts, very much worth consulting by anyone interested in this aspect of the history.
