...reward, the Nazi Government "permitted her to take a lease" on the sumptuous Schloss Leopoldskron, near Salzburg, taken over from Jewish Max Reinhardt after Anschluss. During the CzechoSlovak Crisis she did yeoman service for the Nazi campaign. When Mr. Chamberlain sent Lord Runciman to gather impressions of conditions in Czecho-Slovakia, Princess Stephanie hurried to the Sudetenland castle of Prince Max Hohenlohe where the British "mediator" was entertained. In London during crucial weeks of the Czech Crisis, she was able to arrange the secret meetings between Man Friday Wiedemann and top-ranking Britons. A frequent hostess to Captain Wiedemann...
Bird No. 1: a serious labor shortage in Nazi Germany, caused by the gigantic public works program and feverish rearmament efforts. Bird No. 2: serious unemployment in Czecho-Slovakia, caused by German grab of Czech industrial areas and the pre-Munich influx of refugees from Austria and the Sudetenland. Last week Prague and Berlin devised a stone to kill both birds: a plan to send 80,000 to 100,000 unemployed Czech workmen to Germany. Time: this spring...
After Munich, Ruthenia, easternmost district of Czecho-Slovakia, now called the Carpatho-Ukraine, became an "autonomous" region with only loose connections with Prague but with very definite though unofficial links with Berlin.

The Nazis' Ukrainian blueprints nominated it as the generating centre for a movement to "liberate" all Ukrainians from their present Polish, Rumanian and Russian masters and bring them under the benevolent protection of Führer Hitler...
Last week 4,000 Nazi soldiers were reported to have made their way across Czecho-Slovakia to Ruthenia, a plain warning by Führer Hitler that Nazi Germany will tolerate no impulses by neighboring Hungary and Poland to invade the Carpatho-Ukraine and establish a common frontier. Ukrainian broadcasts are sent daily from Germany. These broadcasts and the Nazi press in Germany incessantly campaign for "Freedom for the Ukraine...
Borderland. The Ukrainian districts of Eastern Europe constitute a huge hunk of southeastern Poland (Galicia), a narrow slice of northern Rumania (northern Bessarabia), the eastern tip of Czecho-Slovakia (Ruthenia) and the most fertile and second most populous of the eleven major constituent states of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (Ukrainian S.S.R.). No great loss would it be for Czechoslovakia to lose undeveloped Ruthenia, with only 550,000 inhabitants, to a Hitler-inspired "Greater Ukraine." Rumania also could well survive after her Ukrainian districts, with 800,000 inhabitants, had been detached. For Poland, however, the loss of eastern Galicia...
