My gaud, talk to ANY german veteran and they'll tell you the same thing:
You can't protest something that you don't know is going on!
AND, Poland and czechoslovakia wouldn't even exist if it weren't for that TERRIBLE document called the Treaty of Versilles. The underlying reason for hitler comming into power and remaining supported was his and the NSDAP's disreguard for that piece of crap that germany didn't even have a say in. The conquest of these countries was just reclaiming land lost, illegaly, to germany and her allies after WWI. As for france, they rattled the saber first, they declared war first, germany just responded to the threat growing to their west the way they always had.
<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Actually, most of Czechoslovakia and Poland was Russia and Austria Hungary. You lose a war you lose land, and Germany didn't lose a lot of it, even though they lost the war. So consider yourself lucky.
