Czechoslovakia was a new country formed out of parts of Germany, Poland, and other countries after World War I. Following the 30 September 1938 Munich Agreement, the Sudetenland portion of Czechoslovakia (largely populated by ethnic Germans) was quickly incorporated into Adolf Hitler’s Greater Germany. The German annexation of the provinces of Bohemia and Moravia in March 1939 enlarged Grossdeutschland again, and the Third Reich book we offer here was created for members of the Wehrmacht who had been involved in these military actions.

The Foreword to the Kameraden explains that the soldiers who participated in the military campaigns were led to Bohemia and Moravia by the Führer and that the Wehrmacht “took over the protection of the land”. It goes on to say, many participated in the difficult task - soldiers on the front line as well as the men who supported them and had their backs. All should be proud of their accomplishments in securing Germany’s future and destiny!
