The year 1938 found the Czechoslovak Republic standing at a fateful crossroad. In the first few weeks of that year it was becoming obvious that Hitler’s Germany had decided once and for all to solve the problem of its southeastern neighbour. After the “Anschluss”(annexation) of Austria, on March 12, 1938, the
Czechoslovak Republic’s already incredibly complicated strategic situation dramatically deteriorated. Only five weeks later Adolf Hitler, together with top commanding officers, devised a detailed plan of attack on Czechoslovakia code-named “Fall Grün” (The Green Plan). Simultaneously in Karlovy Vary (Carlsbad),
Konrad Henlein publicly proclaimed his party’s demands for Federative Autonomy at the Sudeten-German Party Congress, (Sudetendeutsche Partei, henceforth SdP).

и без того невероятно сложная стратегическая ситуация в Чехословацкой Республике резко ухудшилась. Только через пять недель Адольф Гитлер вместе с высшими командирами разработал подробный план нападения на Чехословакию под кодовым названием «Осень Грюн» («Зеленый план»)......
