CHAPTER.18<br />
A CHRISTIAN NATION CRUCIFIED<br />
<strong>The</strong> Sudetenland is a territory about 180 miles long; the size <strong>of</strong> Belgium with a population similar to<br />
that <strong>of</strong> Norway or Ireland. German for 700 years and lying on the rich borderlands between Germany,<br />
Austria and what is now Czechoslovakia.<br />
Under the harsh terms <strong>of</strong> the Versailles Treaty, the Sudeten Germans and their lands were forced to<br />
become part <strong>of</strong> the newly-created Czechoslovakian state. At Munich, Prime Minister Neville<br />
Chamberlain corrected this injustice, which has since been described as '<strong>The</strong> Munich sell-out' by those<br />
who had wanted to make the 'Sudeten problem' a cause for war.<br />
"<strong>The</strong> worst <strong>of</strong>fence (<strong>of</strong> the Versailles Treaty) was the subjection <strong>of</strong> over three million Germans to<br />
Czech rule." - H.N. Brailsford, Leading left-wing Writer<br />
"<strong>The</strong> Munich Pact was a triumph for all that was best and most enlightened in British life."<br />
Pr<strong>of</strong>essor A.J.P Taylor<br />
Throughout the Second World War, "<strong>The</strong> Czechs proved themselves the most loyal collaborators <strong>of</strong><br />
Hitler's Germany. <strong>The</strong> Germans did not even consider it necessary to undertake a sifting <strong>of</strong> Czech<br />
<strong>of</strong>ficials. <strong>The</strong> whole Czech economy worked for the war without friction."<br />

<strong>The</strong> Protectorate was so benign and prosperous during the war years that its economy actually<br />
improved, and the greatest problem faced by the Germans was Czech immigration - to Germany.<br />
