On September 28, 1938, the ultimatum from the German Reich to Czechoslovakia expires. On that day, French Ambassador André François-Poncet seeks an audience with Adolf Hitler at the Reich Chancellery. "You know, Mr. Chancellor, I have always been your good star," are his opening words. When Mussolini's ambassador, Bernardo Attolico, bursts in with a mediation proposal from the Duce, Hitler is already so prepared that he chooses peace. 36 hours later, in the night of September 29 to 30, 1938, Neville Chamberlain, Édouard Daladier, Benito Mussolini, and Adolf Hitler sign the Munich Agreement, which temporarily saves peace once again. With the Munich Conference, André François-Poncet's time as ambassador in Germany comes to an end. Since taking office in 1931, he had closely followed the political developments.
