Re: Munich: the road to war

To the above I could add a very good anti-Soviet cooperation of Czechoslovak and Polish intelligencies, which may have influenced a treaty on handing over of Zaolzie (which was not a result of Munich, as is commonly believed). Nonetheless, there is no point in the mentioning of several people in Czechoslovakia, who did not admire Soviet Union. It is the problem of how Czechoslovakia was percepted in surrounding countries, and policy of ruling party. I must add that even later during WWII and post-war, Czechoslovakia was seen pro-Soviet.
PS I recall reading about desperate attempts to block Munich by corrupting British politicians. Perhaps bribes were too small?
