It was clear that Hitler targeted minorities, a dictator who was simply interested in war, a simple reading of his book would suffice. Was there a counter preparation procedure that allowed Hitler to lay claim on Czechoslovakia unopposed or rather that the anti-communist sentiment of West that allowed him to roam somewhat freer?
As a second question: Why was not Hitler declared Antichrist by churches of that time?
I feel like those two are interconnected with anti-communist sentiment of democracies wanting to see fascist-dictatorships rather than the socialist-communist ones. (The tolerance towards Hitler even though his extremely revanchist writing)
The denouncing would also allow more intelligence to flow as Nazis would be extremely divided if the war stalled, and with the gamble on elite forces being in the flank-coast, I wonder that if British and French overestimated themselves with regards to "try it if you can".
I'm gonna take a go at answering your first question, as answering the second one would be possible, but I might be partially wrong.
Why did the British or French not denounce Hitler early?
1- The First World War saw the death of millions, and both France and Belgium had been completely ravaged by the war, both in terms of land damage and population damage. France, in particular, had suffered over a million losses and British losses weren't much better. As a result, many did not want to see a repeat of the First World War, and so thought that appeasing Hitler, or not denouncing him would be the best way to do that. The Militarization of the Rhineland only a saw a small diplomatic protest, and by 1938, after Anschluss, it was pretty clear that the 1919 treaty was dead. Besides, the militaries of the Entente were weak and had outdated equipment.
2- The British and French militaries were in decline after the First World War, because of the afformentioned lack of War Support and a general feeling of arrogance after the Allies had emerged as the victors of the first War. Many supported the policy of appeasement for this reason, as the militaries of Britain and France were in no way ready to wage war with Germany. They needed time to fortify, to prepare, to dig in, and to win the war of attrition that Germany could not win.
3- The Holocaust was not in full swing yet. Sure, the Jews were mistreated and many were murdered/ stripped off their wealth and lands, but extermination camps didnt pop up en masse until during the war. The British public wasn't really even aware of anti-Semitic camps until after the liberation of said camps in 1945. As for the second point, Churchill himself believed that Facism could serve as a shiled against the ''Red Menace'' and so, why go to war with it?
