Description

A piece to convey... I dont know, something different. Based on the Munich Agreement, which shrunk the borders of Czechoslovakia in September of 1938. There is still a hot debate in The Czech Republic whether we were supposed defend the borders back in 1938 against the german Wehrmacht. However, even as the army elites of the time agreed that the defence would be useless as all the border fortifications were supposed to hold the Germans back until France mobilises and forces the Germans to fight on two fronts. But since the French signed the Munich Agreement that allowed Hitler to annex the Czechoslovak borders with mostly German population (The Sudetenland), The Czechoslovak Republic was left on it's own.

We did not defend the borders back then - but would we do it now, when there's a war going on not that far from Prague?
