While other nations were responding to the agreement between Germany and Italy, internally, there was a sense of peace in both countries.
After the signing of the German-Italian agreement, Hitler did not hurry back to Germany but accepted Mussolini's invitation and began a high-level meeting between the heads of state in Venice.
This was, in fact, the second official private meeting between the leaders of Germany and Italy.
Even when the two countries had signed the agreement before, it was only their Foreign Ministers who appeared. Neither head of state had personally taken action.
Hitler's acceptance to personally visit Italy had already proved that he had abandoned his previous prejudices against Italy and Mussolini.
Yes, even though Mussolini was Hitler's predecessor in the struggle for power and dictatorial rule, after their first meeting, Hitler actually had quite a few prejudices against Mussolini.
