a development and development no i mean brought persons that post perhaps one reason for that they are. the chicken suit is the transition you see in the suit as a reason instead to the nine hundred thirty eight gently used the occasion as an excuse to declare that the germans were being discriminated against in the few days mason she addresses phone was to call for an end to the genocide of the german people or whatever our current primary requirement happened make in europe i heard her and mr campbell and i are a pretty good here but we're really. ordinary money no foreigner territorial problem in europe we want no. she does a chance to make sure the fisa doesn't reach and was the ceded to germany

historians are still trying to understand what stood behind those events. one of them is your concern to ski the german. concerning the. so. important question could. have been prevented and could have been a. reason to believe that this could have been done. with france. the world war one your opinion countries including france and england where we read the prospect of launch still has to choose what war and france on the dillard year most of all could be done in order to breach the mutual support agreement under the same time avoid implementing it in full. in the one nine hundred thirty eight the british prime minister who never changed and held several meetings with hitler in a bid to persuade him not to start

a war in central europe. this continent he was ready to do anything in his power to obtain these two decimation. on his part chile fearful of the prospect of the speech of the french prime minister. to put pressure on czechoslovakia in order to achieve a peaceful solution france made it clear it would give new show if the czechs decided to go to war to take out benish was ready to surrender everything else healthy facility it's apparent that the chicks were. to plant their government s. just. needless to say initially the czech government was categorically against ceding of the sudeten regional to germany but they changed their mind following very crude pressure from their allies england and france that sent waves of anger with the result that the people of czechoslovakia came out onto the streets to

demand that the government distance itself from the agreement and retain all the territories all of that took place in front of the government buildings just near. the russian historian valentin fine who is in berlin in the nine hundred forty five he was employed at the same day as him to see at the time and supplied stone and get on the elliptical lutes falling feels that in signing the agreement on the division of czechoslovakia the western powers are not being guided by the fear of war in europe. news there. germany and the soviet union should be put on a collision course brother would fight with each other and more than that they would bleed themselves white and when they were weak enough when we would dictate our terms to them there was a whole jungle although such top level state. hungry

for the full story we've got it first hand the biggest issues get the human voice face to face with the news makers. russian historian and a former officer with the foreign intelligence service has been working with archives in recent years to get detailed information on the cipher communications of salvias agents now that the documents have been declassified such cool says

despite france's refusal to help. to help its part now under that agreement it is true though that nobody asked for support. troops on the western borders and some of the troops in central regions were put on full alert there were twenty frontline divisions and also warplanes bombers fighters all ready to help all of it in the pool which when hitler addressed a crowd of fifteen thousand party faithful in. september david forney journalist working israel has written a book about the only. one of the most important parts president spanish is a tryst on a czech radio station on the day when he decided to see things through decimation to germany. and here. all our citizens czechs and slovaks and germans and. distinction of fact

we all have the same duties all can make a great contribution to peace i'm not talking to political parties i'm not talking to organizations i'm talking to you. individual citizens that. try to find means of understanding try not to aggravate. the situation. on september the twenty ninth one thousand nine hundred thirty eight leaders of four countries met in munich to sign the agreement ceding the su dissonant to germany. the german historian you're going so to speak slowly approaches the building where hitler presided over the meeting seventy years ago the mansion house built on the owners all fittler looks especially gloomy on this cloudy day. is situated in this street. building where the many conferences are full powers were

seldom the twenty ninth of september nineteenth thirty eight. dollars. per hour as leaders true along the streets. it was waiting for them inside this building for the mission to do strewn over there on the second floor. the rules of the national music school played witness to the participants off the munich agreement who ascended this model staircase seventy years ago then this building house the headquarters of adult hitless polity. no we are in hitler's study so it will go here in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight. chamberlain. selenium.

had a meeting. where the new treaty was signed. in syria it was just as it was then. who believe the conference was told to in a friendly atmosphere a phrase used on such occasions all sides declared right away that they wanted a peaceful settlement to the conflict it was stressed that he too was against a forcible solution to the sea debt an issue only the french prime minister. said he was surprised by the facts that czechoslovakia's destiny is being decided without its representatives. more though you're not there in that conference was a rare occasion when a country street was decided without its participation. had not even been invited to. the conference last day until three in the morning without a break financial takes just

mark. the chamberlain had committed a blunder became clear early a few months later when he landed in a bomb shelter when the gas mask in anticipation of a possible german attorney. many historians regard the day when the munich agreement was signed is the start of world war two although on september the thirtieth leaders of european countries through to be able to sign a peace memorandum under the terms of the agreement signed by hitler mussolini chamberlain and elijah here the checks words leave the citizen and within nine days ago four off the agreements said that the territory would be occupied by german troops on november the tenth when german troops and to czechoslovakia plain old earl begged the director of the archive. of sudarshan germans was just over a year old place or his mother often told him that the citizen germans hailed those

days as an occasion for celebration the arrival of german troops was seen as the longer waited accession to the third reich he told me. they were delighted and not because of the troops but. because germans that was an old british zunes and eighteen. the small town of home it off situated one hundred kilometers away from prague was populated by the germans only seventy years ago and after the war as the germans were resettled by force almost no one came back only street people attended meetings at the local branch of these deaths and. had few kournikova a german woman has lived all her life in czechoslovakia during the war years she and her family found themselves in the crossfire literally. head fake spent her

childhood in a check kindergarten and a check school. when the nazis came to power she had to pay the price for her friendship with czechs she and her family were thought to be suspect picturing the wall the chicks to change their attitude to the suggestion germans. german soldiers ones sent v.q. was a little girl at the time along with her younger brother to a chick canteen to get some food but they never got it their former classmates pelted them with stones. so snugly. into a nine my brother came to the school. our classmates pelted us with stones. and drove us away from the school building it and. crying heil hitler. but. after the earth the su disciplined was returned to czechoslovakia the czech president. returned from london after hiding. his first degree

deported from the country deprives them of their citizenship and confiscated their property that a politician was accompanied by the so-called death marches tens of thousands of students and germans died in a matter of months. back the director of the archives these suggest and return to his homeland sixty years later he returned as a tourist. finds nothing the truth. to be also village lost destroyed and if you go over you will find some traces stones from houses not trees after trees and this is the only thing you can recognise here was once the village there of nearly solace and

inhabitants that means i think. three hundred houses. they all have gone only one year. we know this is the region where the germans lived. and is the representative. in prague anything he can do for the time being his name is the territories the germans would be only too happy to return but no one here expects them to. know there is a difference between an italian coming here to sell pizzas. under german whose parents lived here works german who was born here. we feel germans must have some special conditions for their return here. or special conditions for returning to the czech republic exist nor can they exist in

a legal context in the present european legal system. only thing that could be discussed similarities in mentality. here the love this land and the no check lifestyles but this does not imply any special rights or concessions. for the czech fine ministry the thirty five year old has if he leeson to see himself as someone of soon. he is a suggestion german in a cordon. with one family line although it is true that he is a chick in accordance with another his grandfathers were on different sides of the barricades which in no way undermines his firm pro czech position. the debate on how the munich agreement affected the course of european history in the twentieth century has shown no signs of abating as yet as

a theoretical conference dedicated to that event in moscow both. the historian from the czech republic and. historian from germany had the opportunity to present their views on the subject. law of the change their views but they did agree on the lessons that can be drawn from events that took place years ago in a situation in one nine hundred thirty eight showed that if the structure of collective security is undermined. the league of nations and national leaders are guided only by national interests gives rise to a dangerous situation. if that's kind of a historian is going to publish the classified documents compiled by intelligence agents so that they can become available not only to specialists but also to anyone

he was interested in world history in fact anyone who feels there's a lesson can be drawn from any historical situation. the main lesson to be drawn from prison to very simple formula instead of encouraging an aggressor must be countered by the joint efforts the efforts to establish a system of collective security in nine hundred three field but the problem has a good deal of relevance to the. political ambitions of the powers that be. and the attempts to decide everything but the stroke of the pen or through violent acts only result in human casualties transit is interested lives. if this affects ordinary people in the first place. and seem to find it difficult to take to heart these apparent the obvious conclusions in the twenty
