Twenty-Five Years Ago - Riots in Sudetenland
A quarter of a century ago history recorded 15 days of international crisis that forever shaped the destiny of man. There were riots in Sudetenland as pro-Hitler Germans backed his demand that this Czech territory and its people be returned to the Reich. As Munich, England and France allowed Hitler to take over ... appeasement did not work. Less than a year later war raged in Europe. The streets of France, people, French police. CUS - President Roosevelt. MS - White House senators discussing what would happen if a war broke out. MLHS - Street's of France and throngs jammed packed into the square. MS - Hitler's retreat at Benkisgarden; Great Britons Envoy Chamberlain disembarking from a car to have a meeting with Hitler. MS - Chamberlain and Hitler greeting each other. MS - Germany's vast power, cannons, army, trucks and tanks. MS - German planes in the sky flying in formation.
