Description

Front: Chamberlain descending an aircraft. Back: A handwritten note reading, "Chamberlain arriving from Munich after signing Munich Pact with Hitler," and Culver Pictures, Inc. stamps and barcodes.

Information Provided by Michael D. Bulmash:

Arriving at Heston airport following the Munich Conference, Chamberlain declares proudly that he has secured "peace in our time." Hitler had demanded that Czechoslovakia cede to Germany the Sudetenland territories of Bohemia and Moravia, regions inhabited by ethnic Germans. Chamberlain's appeasement policy in essence led to the dismemberment of the independent democratic state of Czechoslovakia.
