Munich 38

The world at a crossroads

Book presentation: PD Dr. Daniel Hedinger

Moderation: Klaus Hillenbrand

In their book Munich 38: The World at the Crossroads (2026), Christian Goeschel and Daniel Hedinger take a look at the appeasement policy of Great Britain and France. It was aimed at appeasing Hitler by making concessions and persuading him to give in after all. At the conference in Munich on September 29/30, 1938, Chamberlain and Daladier finally signed an agreement according to which Czechoslovakia was to cede the Sudeten territories to Germany. By the time the Second World War broke out in Europe less than a year later, it was clear that the policy of appeasement had failed.Translated with DeepL
