It was done by those who despite their permanent position “sud-denly” allowed Austria to be joint to Reich.

Churchill wrote about the Poles even more firmly than the author of this book: “...hyenas eagerly took part in the robbery and destruction of the Czechoslovak state” (see the same book. P. 189).
Officially in accordance with the Munich Agreement the remains of Czechoslovakia with the magnificent Prague were not transferred to Hitler. But in reality it was also Hitler’s already. Details of this issue will be described in the next Chapter.

Who made Hitler attack Stalin
It was done by those who despite the international law in every pos-sible way prevented the legitimate Spanish government to defeat the rebels and persistently did not notice the Italian and German support to the General Franco.
It was done by those who despite their obligations of the ally did not support Czechoslovakia but on the contrary did everything for Czechoslovakia to surrender.
It is a little known fact but an interesting detail: the next day after signing the Munich Agreement, the United Kingdom and Germany signed an ad-ditional agreement1. English Prime Minister Chamberlain invited Hitler to talk confidentially. He suddenly took out a piece of paper out of his pocket. What was this agreement about? Nothing too important, just a trifle. A little “insurance”. “German Fьhrer and Chancellor and the British Prime Minister came to an agreement that the issue of English and German relations is the priority for the two countries and Europe” — the document declared. The agreement that was signed the day before and English-German naval agreement was considered by the heads of two countries “the symbol of determination” of the two nations “never to fight against each other”!
Historians tend to forget about this little “insurance”. Guarantee of Hitler’s aggression in the east was supposed to become this unremarkable agree-ment and not the Munich Agreement which concerned only Czechoslo-vakia! Many documentaries often show the return of Chamberlain from Munich to London. He stands next to the plane, holds a piece of paper and declares: “This is peace for our generation!” “Peace for our time!” The audience thinks that he holds the Munich Agreement in his hands. While Nevill Chamberlain tightly holds the additional English-German agree-ment. And in December 1938 similar agreement was signed between France and Germany2.

That meant that Hitler would be multiplying his military powers only on land, while nothing would prevent Britain from its further naval domi-nance. English nation had no interest where would the head of the German Vermacht direct the land bulk of its army...

Why London and Paris presented Vienna and Prague to Hitler
Aggression of Germany against the USSR was becoming more and more visible. In fall 1938 Hitler and those who brought him up to defeat Russia were departing Munich quite satisfied with each other. It will take only half a year and those who shook hands with Hitler in Munich would call him an aggressor. And it will happen because of... Czechoslovakia.
That particular moment would become the start of the most interesting period in the world history...
