question about history

Post by klaymen »

I have a question: why is Czechoslovakia in SPWAW?
I ask that because during the WW2 there was no Czechoslovakia. In 1938 was a conferention in Munich and there the aggresors (Hitler, Mussolini) and cowards (Daladier and Chamberlain) decidet that Czechoslovakia should give up its borderlands for Germany, and later Germany annexed Czech part of Czechoslovakia. Slovakia became independent country and became Germany's most trusty ally. Slovak soldiers fought on the eastern front against the Soviet Union.

The onyl REAL Czechoslovak armies were in GB (for example in RAF) and Soviet Union (1st Czechoslovak parabrigade).

Best answer is that it makes it easier for everyone to comprehend. And since the game actually STARTS in 1930, when there WAS a Czechoslovakia, there was no intent to change the name or split the OOB for historical accurateness.

Besides, this allows for a "what-if" for Operation Green, which was a planned full-scale invasion of Czechoslovakia by Germany in 1938 or early 1939. The Munich agreement rendered this unnecessary, to the great relief of the OKW/OKH.
