ready to do anything in his power to obtain these two deaths are legion. on his post fearful of the prospect of the speech of the french prime minister. to put pressure on czechoslovakia in order to achieve a peaceful solution promised made it clear it would give new shampoo if the czechs decided to go to mauritius headcount benish was ready to surrender everything else healthy facility it's apparent that the chicks free. to plan their government air defense needless to say and italy the czech government was categorically against ceding mr dayton 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

france's refusal to help. moscow is ready to help it's part of 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 frontlines of asians and also warplanes bombers fighters already to help pull up at the pool with one hitler addressed a crowd of fifteen thousand party faithful and. in september david forney journalist working israel has written a book about the only could grammont one of the most important parts president spanish is a tryst on the czech radio station on the day when he decided to see things reason to germany. and here i got all our cities and czechs and slovaks and germans and my drawers. back to

we all have the same duties. 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 as 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 your concern to ski slowly approaches the building where hitler presided over meetings seventy years ago the mansion house built on the owners off hitler looks especially gloomy on this cloudy day. for a baby is situated in this street. the building where the many conferences full

this days as an occasion for celebration the arrival of german troops was seen as the longer we waited accession to the third reich he told me. they were delighted because of the troops but. because germans that was an old rich. eighteen. the small town of home it off situated a hundred kilometers away from prague was populated by the germans only seventy years ago after the war with the germans were recessed told by force almost no one came back only street people attended meetings at a local branch of the suggests india. had few konica for a german woman by birth has lived all her life in czechoslovakia during the war years she and her family found themselves in the crossfire literally. has

spent her childhood in the czech kindergarten and the chicks 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 in the wall the chicks to change their attitude to the suggestion german. german soldiers once sent hedrick she 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. to align 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 banished returned from london after. his first degree

deported from the country deprives them of their citizenship and confiscated their property. and 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 citizens returned to his homeland sixty years later he returned as a tourist. finds nothing but true. to be all civility lost destroyed and if you go over say there you will find some traces stones from houses not trees africa trees and this is the only thing you can recognise here was once a village there of nearly solace and inhabitants that means i think. three

hundred houses. they all have gone only one year. this is the region where the germans lived. in prague anything he can do for the time being conjure up memories of lost 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. and a german whose parents lived here wants german who was born here. we feel germans must have some special conditions for their return here. or special conditions for a return to the czech republic exist nor can they exist in

a legal context in the present european legal system the only thing that could be discussed is 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 change foreign ministry the thirty five year old has if he leeson to see himself as someone who. he is a suit distant 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 here it is

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 air for its efforts to establish a system of collective security in nine hundred thirty eight 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 with 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. well a tissue and seemed to find it difficult to take to heart these apparently obvious

conclusions in the twenty first century is wild.
