...national frenzy to grab neighbors' territory was started by Adolf Hitler's Sudeten grab. The rest of Central Europe thereupon went grab crazy, Hungary getting 4,800 sq. mi. of Czechoslovakia, Poland getting 400. Like the 1937 U.

Confident that the mutilated republic does not dare talk back to Greater Germany, Nazi Kundt announced that he and seven other former Sudeten parliamentary representatives would stay in Czechoslovakia "to promote...
...respectability, the eight Nazis formed a parliamentary "Club of German National Socialist Deputies and Senators of Czechoslovakia." Its announced aims: to promote peaceful relationships between persons of German blood remaining within the republic and to develop "understanding" between Germans, Czechs, Slovaks and Ruthenians. Its probable aim: to keep the Sudeten Nazi caldron bubbling as long as it is useful to Adolf Hitler...
