Was Adolf Hitler really nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize?

On January 24, 1939, twelve Swedish members of parliament nominated the British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain for the Nobel Peace Prize. The argument for this was that Chamberlain had saved world peace by the Munich Agreement with Hitler in September 1938, when the Czechoslovakianarea Sudetenland was handed over to Germany. Chamberlain was the man who "through this dangerous time saved our part of the world from a terrible catastrophe" , as written in the nomination letter.

Three days after the nomination of Chamberlain the Swedish Parliamentarian and Social Democrat, Erik Brandt, sent a letter to the Norwegian Nobel Committee, nominating the German Chancellor Adolf Hitler for the Nobel Peace Prize.
