In this episode we look at the second invasion of Czechoslovakia by the Nazis in less than 6 months. In 1939. After the annexation of the Sudetenlands, Czechoslovakia was in a much weakened position and disputed territories were seized and occupied by Poland and Hungary. But there were also rising tension between the Czechs and Slovaks. The Hlinka Slovak’s Peoples Party ( HSPP), essentially a far right nationalist movement, saw an opportunity to take control and form an autonomous state. Hitler would seize upon these tensions an encouraged the Slovak’s to declare independence a become a puppet Nazi regime. The Nazis invaded what was left of Czechoslovakia and established the protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. The Nazis achieved their aim which was to wipe Czechoslovakia of the face of the map.
