So Edward is drafted to fight in the war, and hugs his family goodbye, telling them that he'll be home before they know it, and he also assigns Jane to take care of Wendy and Danny while he's away fighting the forces of Hitler and Benito Mussolini.
Later on in the film, it is learned that World War II has broken out and that many men have been asked to leave their families to protect their country from the impending attack by the Nazi Regime, which has just annexed France and installed a puppet government. In the beginning, Edward is first seen holding Jane and standing next to Wendy, who is holding Danny, and together, they look out the nursery window to which Wendy points to Neverland (second star to the right and straight on 'til morning). It can be assumed he dislikes Adolf Hitler no less than anyone else, and wants the Germans to pay for their unprovoked aggression and attempts to exact revenge for the Treaty of Versailles.
While it is unknown if he believes in Peter Pan or not, the opening scene featuring in which he stands with Wendy while she points out Neverland to Jane and Danny shows that he has no problem with her stories of Peter Pan and Neverland. He has faith in his family that they will be happy while he's gone away to fight the Nazi and Fascist Regimes in Eastern Europe and Northern Africa. Edward is a caring, soft-spoken, and loving husband and father.
