I think that piece of paper Chamberlain waved in front of the camera was a political master-stroke. No one knew what it actually said but thought it meant Hitler would be satisfied with the Sudetenland and keep quiet now. When he seized Bohemia and Moravia and began threatening Poland, the conclusion was easily reached that "this bastard doesn't keep his word". Chamberlain won the propaganda battle there and then. Hitler always thought it was Chamberlain who had got the better of him at Munich.

@ProjectFlashlight612 It's called outakes from history, from a 1980 programme named Peter Cook & co. - although this particular edit is from a 1988 doco about the Munich crisis

Yes, it's quite amazing, right down to the satire of Sir Alec Douglas Home losing the piece of paper. Utter brilliance! It's edited from a 1988 doco about the Munich crisis... I'll be posting the rest very soon.

Where did Sir Alec Douglas Hume come into all this?

@crossleydd42 Alec Douglas Home was Chamberlain's Parliamentary Private Secretary and accompanied him to Munich. So when Cleese says "I thought Alec had it", he means Alec Douglas Home.
