But TIK, if Hitler wasn't a Madman, why did he assume Britain wouldn't fight?

Hitler famously asked Ribbentrop "Now what?" when Britain declared war on Germany in 1939 after Germany invaded Poland. This has sparked a debate, with one of my viewers asking why Hitler was shocked that Britain declared war if he understood Britain's 'European Balance of Power' strategy? Today we answer that question.
