Five Years of "Munich Peace".

September 29, 1943 is the fifth anniversary of the signing of the Munich pact. By now the entire world is in agreement that for the French and British the pact was the greatest diplomatic defeat in modern history. But it was not an isolated defeat. It was the culmination of a series of shameful submissions that began in 1936 when German troops entered the demilitarized Rhineland and British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain found it was natural for the Germans to reoccupy territory which they had been forced to cede.
