At a time when the small nations which included Czechoslovakia were deeply disappointed, Hitler sent his troops to the demilitarized Rhine zone. This measure was merely a bluff. Behind the French border there was a strong army, and if they had been ordered to do so, the German troops would have withdrawn quickly and the Hitler regime would have been greatly discredited in the eyes of the Germans.
