How did Hitler take Czechoslovakia without bloodshed?

/kloc-in may of 0/6, Hitler asked the high command of the national defense forces, "once mobilized," how many divisions on the Czech front "can advance at any time within 12 hours." On May 17, he was eager to know about the fortifications of the Czech Republic. On May 20th, keitel submitted a new draft of "Green Plan" to Hitler according to the former's orders. At the same time, German media reported the transfer of German troops.

At this imminent moment, on the afternoon of May 20, under the auspices of President Benaiser, the Czech cabinet held an emergency meeting and decided to immediately implement local mobilization and the army entered the border fortifications.

At that time, European countries also expressed their views. France reiterated its commitment to immediately assist Czechoslovakia; The Soviet Union indicated that it was ready to provide assistance if the Czech government requested it. Britain has pointed out the seriousness of the situation to Germany many times through its ambassador and foreign minister, warning that it is extremely difficult to predict whether Britain can stay out of the war in Europe.

In order to ease the tension, on May 23rd, the German government informed the Czech ambassador to Berlin that Germany had no intention of invading Czechoslovakia, and the reports about the German massing at the border were groundless. On May 26th, Hitler ordered heinlein to resume negotiations with Benaiser.

On May 28th, Hitler, who felt greatly insulted, announced a major decision to the senior officers of the National Defence Force at the Chancellery, saying that he would "completely solve the problem in the Sudetenland" and "wipe Czechoslovakia off the map".

Since then, Nazi Germany has been busy making the final plan of Czechoslovakia. By the end of this summer, all preparations for the invasion of the Czech Republic had been fully prepared. On September 3rd, Hitler and keitel, Chief of Staff of the High Command, and brauchitsch, Commander-in-Chief of the Army of Berghoff studied the arrangement of invading the Czech Republic, and decided to enter the positions along the German-Czech border on September 28th.

In these months, Hitler was very happy because he received a lot of good news. On August 3rd, Chamberlain sent Congressman Rensiman to the Czech Republic to "investigate" and act as a "mediator" in the Sudetenland crisis. In fact, his real mission was to pave the way for the handover of Sudetenland to the Germans. On June 8th, Friedrich Werner von der Schulenburg, the German ambassador to the Soviet Union, reported to Berlin that it was extremely unlikely that the Soviet Union would send troops to defend the bourgeois country Czech Sladek. German Ambassador to Poland von Mao Qi kept reporting to Berlin that Poland not only didn't want the Russians to help the Czech Republic with troops and planes, but also coveted the Czech Republic's Teqing region.

Hitler also did not forget to work for Hungary, which had a territorial dispute with Czechoslovakia. On August 23, when Hitler met with Holti, the Regent of Hungary, and members of the Hungarian government, he provoked them with ulterior motives and said, "Whoever wants to sit at the dinner table should at least help the chef."

On September 5th, President Benaiser summoned the leaders of Sudetenland, Conte and West Bockowski, at ChiRadeshin Palace, and asked them to put forward all their demands in writing. He promised to accept whatever they put forward. However, Hitler didn't want these, but all of Czechoslovakia. He is worried about Benaise this skill. On September 7, according to Berlin's instructions, Hahn Rein interrupted all negotiations with the Czech government because of the so-called excessive behavior of the Czech police.

Since then, tensions in Europe have intensified. On September 12, the last day of the Nazi Party Congress in Nuremberg, Hitler's closing speech was full of rude attacks and vicious curses on the Czech country and its president.

Hitler's speech became a signal of rebellion in Sudetenland. However, the Czechs did not panic. The Czech government immediately declared martial law, sent troops to suppress the rebellion and controlled the situation. Hahnlein fled to Germany and announced that the only way to solve the problem was to cede Sudetenland to Germany.

At this time, the French also began to fidget. /kloc-in September of 0/3, the French cabinet met all day. The cabinet believes that war is imminent, but there are serious differences of opinion on whether France should fulfill its obligations to the Czech Republic according to the treaty. Finally, Daladier asked Chamberlain to try to negotiate with Hitler as soon as possible. At 23: 00 that day, Chamberlain sent an urgent telegram to Hitler, proposing to fly to Germany immediately to seek a peaceful solution. Hitler readily agreed.

1938 10 10 On 6 October, with the support and manipulation of Germany, Slovakia announced the establishment of an autonomous government, and soon Lucia came into effect. In this way, Czechoslovakia, which was originally unified, was in a state of division.

1938 65438+1October 2 1 day, Hitler issued an order that the armed forces must be ready to liquidate the rest of Czechoslovakia at any time in order to occupy Bohemia and Moravia.

1939 At the beginning of March, the separatist activities between Slovakia and Lucia, encouraged by the Germans, had reached the point where the Prague government had to make a decision. The Czech government decided to take drastic measures and ordered the dissolution of the autonomous governments of Saint Lucia and Slovakia on March 6 and 9 respectively. He also ordered the arrest of Slovak Prime Ministers Tissot, Duka and Dur Kanski who were actively engaged in separatist activities, and declared martial law in Slovakia.

The Czechoslovak government's action to safeguard national unity provided Hitler with an excuse to intervene. /kloc-in March of 0/3, Hitler summoned Tissot and Toure Kanski in Berlin and asked them to declare Slovakia's "independence". On March 14, Slovakia declared its independence. On the same day, Saint Lucia also announced the establishment of an independent "Confederation of Corba-Ukrainian Republic".

At this point, the Prague government has only two Czech lands, Bohemia and Moravia. When solving the remaining land in Czechoslovakia, try to be reasonable and legal. /kloc-On the night of March, 0/4, Hitler summoned the new President of Czechoslovakia, Hacha, and Foreign Minister Valkovsky.

At that time, the Germans had moved to the border between Bohemia and Moravia and occupied Moravia-Ostrava, an important industrial city in the Czech Republic.

15 At 3: 55 on March, under the pressure of Hitler, Goering and ribbentrop, Hacha signed the German-German Agreement.

/kloc-in the early morning of March, the Germans invaded Bohemia and Moravia without any resistance. /kloc-in March of 0/6, Hitler announced the establishment of Bohemia and Moravia as "protectorates".

While the Germans invaded Bohemia and Moravia, the Hungarian army also moved into Lucia. The next day, Lucia was incorporated into Hungary.

On the same day, the Slovak "Prime Minister" Tissot sent a telegram drafted by the Germans, asking them to "protect" it to Berlin. Hitler immediately generously promised to put Slovakia under the protection of Germany. Soon, the Germans entered Slovakia.

At this point, Czechoslovakia no longer exists. Hitler achieved all the goals of the "Green Plan" without bloodshed.
