On 31st August, 1938 Hitler approved a memorandum by Jodl dated 24th August, 1938, concerning the timing of the order for the invasion of Czechoslovakia and the question of defense measures. This memorandum contained the following:
"Operation Gruen will be set in motion by means of an 'incident' in Czechoslovakia, which will give Germany provocation for military intervention. The fixing of the exact time for this incident is of the utmost importance."
These facts demonstrate that the occupation of Czechoslovakia had been planned in detail long before the Munich Conference.
In the month of September, 1938, the conferences and talks with military leaders continued. In view of the extraordinarily critical situation which had arisen, the British Prime Minister, Mr. Chamberlain, flew to Munich and then went to Berchtesgaden to see Hitler. On the 22 September Mr. Chamberlain met Hitler for further discussions at Bad Godesberg. On the 26th September, 1938, Hitler said in a speech in Berlin, with reference to his conversation:
"I assured him, moreover, and I repeat it here, that when this problem is solved there will be no more territorial problems for Germany in Europe; and I further assured him that from the moment when Czechoslovakia solves its other problems that is to say, when the Czechs have come to an arrangement with their other minorities, peacefully and without oppression, I will be no longer interested in the Czech State, and that as far as I am concerned I will guarantee it. We don't want any Czechs."
On the 29th September, 1938, after a conference between Hitler and Mussolini and the British and French Prime Ministers in Munich, the Munich Pact was signed, by which Czechoslovakia was required to acquiesce in the cession of the Sudetenland to Germany. The "piece of paper" which the British Prime Minister brought back to London signed by himself and Hitler, expressed the hope that for the future Britain and Germany might live without war. That Hitler never intended to adhere to the Munich Agreement is shown by the fact that a little later he asked the defendant Keitel for information with regard to the military force which in his opinion would be required to break all Czech resistance in Bohemia and Moravia. Keitel gave his reply on the 11th October, 1938. On the 11th October, 1938 a directive was issued by Hitler, and countersigned by the Defendant Keitel, to the Armed Forces on their future tasks, which stated:
"Liquidation of the remainder of Czechoslovakia. It must be possible to smash at any time the remainder of Czechoslovakia if her policy should become hostile towards Germany."
On the 14th March, 1939, the Czech President Hacha and his Foreign Minister Chvalkovsky came to Berlin at the suggestion of Hitler, and attended a meeting at which the Defendants Ribbentrop, Goering, and Keitel were present, with others. The proposal was made to Hacha that if he would sign an agreement consenting to the incorporation of the Czech people in the German Reich at once, Bohemia and Moravia would be saved from destruction. He was informed that German troops had already received orders to march and that any resistance would be broken with physical force. The Defendant Goering added the threat that he would destroy Prague completely from the air. Faced by this dreadful alternative, Hacha and his Foreign Minister put their signatures to the necessary agreement at 4:30 in the morning, and Hitler and Ribbentrop signed on behalf of Germany.
On the 15 March German troops occupied Bohemia and Moravia, and on 16 March the German decree was issued incorporating Bohemia and Moravia into the Reich as a protectorate, and this decree was signed by the Defendants Ribbentrop and Frick.
I'd tell Sharon to shut the f**k up and don't piss off the only entity keeping his country from becoming yet another Arab-speaking s**thole: the US of A.
You know it, I know it, our President knows it, our people know it, YOUR people know it, and your ENEMIES know it.
This makes me shake my head in disgust...............
If he lived where I do in Florida, he would have been with the rest of them screaming about how Bush stole the election. Don't think they are not keeping it up. They are. And they want Reno to run this state and Bush impeached. Read ther Palm Post. Listent to Randi Rhodes on JKGNO...it it 100% hate America, hate Bush.
The rule is: DO NOT CHANGE HEADLINES OF ARTICLES TO FIT YOUR OWN STUPID-*SS NOTION.
This has got to be the single most outrageous piece of dirty mudslinging that I've seen here on FR in many months. You're a pig.
After getting agreements with Georgia recently, now Russia is also pulling Israel within its orbit of allies, further isolating the US that follows suicidal appeasement formulas. Russia is replaying the pre-WWII scenario, making Russia again look good against the Nazies, the muslim Nazies, that is, while now the US looks like a country avid with oil and supporting the Nazies.
I do not believe the US support Nazies, I do believe however that the US has its political and military guard down and is getting fooled into going for quick and naive coalition solutions instead of conceiving a consistent non-utopic strategy. Worse, everyone is on the left in the US, people not only want social security, but they also want military social security ... indeed, what business in the US has decided to buy AntiAircraft batteries and shelters to be posted around its powerplants and rich buildings? None! Apparently the money entrepreneurs are just that, money entrepreneurs because their entrepreneurialism does not go into self armament. Bush of course is a representation of this government army welfare bunch.
Well, indeed, no one is a fool, and every one knows implicitly, especialy the Israeli security services, that one of the options of the Bush admistration is to give up Israel. A very attractive quick solution to our problems. However, this will mean that the algorithm of operations and relations with the US of the terrorists won't be changed given such success, if it actualy happens.
