Summary[edit]

Description
English: Munich Agreement, Chamberlain: Peace for our time.
  • The British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain commenting and showing the Anglo-German Declaration (the resolution) of the Munich Agreement (German: Münchener Abkommen) to commit to peaceful methods signed by both Hitler and himself, on his return from Munich on 30 September 1938.
Chamberlain's aeroplane landed at the Heston Aerodrome and he spoke to the crowds there: The settlement of the Czechoslovakian problem, which has now been achieved is, in my view, only the prelude to a larger settlement in which all Europe may find peace. This morning I had another talk with the German Chancellor, Herr Hitler, and here is the paper which bears his name upon it as well as mine [shows paper to crowd]. Some of you, perhaps, have already heard what it contains but I would just like to read it to you: " ... We regard the agreement signed last night and the Anglo-German Naval Agreement as symbolic of the desire of our two peoples never to go to war with one another again".
Later that day, he stood outside 10 Downing Street, again read from the document and concluded: My good friends, for the second time in our history, a British Prime Minister has returned from Germany bringing peace with honour. I believe it is peace for our time. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Go home and get a nice quiet sleep.
Chamberlain's return was not universally well-received, and 15,000 people protested the Munich Agreement the same day in Trafalgar Square, three times more than the number welcoming him at 10 Downing Street.
