On 22 May 1938, Hitler stated that he had deep respect for Beck for his pro-Nazi testimony at the Ulm trial of 1930, but his views were too much that of a "Reichswehr" general and not enough of a "Wehrmacht" general. Hitler commented that Beck was "one of the officers still imprisoned in the idea of the hundred-thousand-man army". On 28 May 1938, Beck had a meeting with Hitler, Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop, Admiral Erich Raeder, Hermann Göring, Wilhelm Keitel and Walther von Brauchitsch,during which Hitler restated the views that he had first expressed in the Hossbach Memorandum. In response, Beck drafted another memo on May 29 in which he presented a case that the Czechoslovak Army was not, as Hitler argued, a weak force and that a limited regional war in Central Europe was not a realistic possibility. In the same memorandum, Beck proclaimed his agreement with Hitler's views about the necessity of acquiring "Lebensraum" in Eastern Europe, called the existence of Czechoslovakia "intolerable" and concluded that "a way must be found to eliminate it (Czechoslovakia) as a threat to Germany, even, if necessary, by war". However, Beck argued that Germany was not strong enough to fight the general war that would result from an attack on Czechoslovakia in 1938 and urged Hitler to avoid a "premature war". In particular, Beck argued, "It is not accurate to judge Germany today as stronger than in 1914". He alsp presented a detailed military case that more time was needed before the "Wehrmacht" would be as strong as the army of 1914. Furthermore, Beck contended that he could not "accept these estimates of the military power of France and England... Germany, whether alone or in alliance with Italy, is not in a position militarily to match England or France".
