Infos

Originally published in 1964, this is a scholarly study of the transfer of the German minority from Czechoslovakia after World War II. To fully understand the transfer, one must trace the history of its antecedents and the book does this by discussing the significance of three decades of German-Czech relations. The introduction outlines the geo-economic and social factors which underlie the heart of the story. Part 1 begins in the pre-1914 period. It was in the Austrian part of the Habsburg Empire that the main tenets of National Socialism were elaborated prior to World War I. The Nazi use of German minorities as the spearhead of a drive for hegemony was a brutal variation of an old theme. The major topics which run throughout Parts 2 & 3 are the consolidation of Nazism in the former Czechoslovakia, the fall the Czechoslovak Republic and the rise of Czech resistance against the process of Germanization. The book also discusses the Czech resistance movement in some depth. In the section Other Sources, the author has included letters and interviews which enabled him to utilize the statements and views of living political figures and authorities.
