947: The Munich Pact // 1940 04 (Eric Ludy)

This is the fourth installment in Eric Ludy's winter Daily Thunder series, 1940, which follows the epic storyline of Hitler's rise to power in Europe in the the '30's and Great Britain's unexpected stand to thwart his progress. In this episode, Eric focuses on the repurcussions of Great Britain's appeasment campaign towards Adolf Hitler's ever-growing list of crimes. When evil is overlooked for the sake of convenience, its the smaller, the weaker, and the least among us that often suffer because of it. In 1938, Czechoslovakia is that smaller, weaker nation forsaken as a result of British appeasement and subsequently swallowed up in the Nazi machine.
