It is hard to describe the feelings that the treason by France in Munich brought about in (up to then francophile) Czechoslovakia. Bunch of fools indeed.
Flowers, not tomatoes, greeted French prime minister Daladier when he returned from Munich in 1938. Knowing the threat posed by Hitler, and that he and Chamberlain had betrayed Czechoslovakia, he said of the cheering crowds: “Bunch of fools."
