War in Poland and Czechoslaovakia: the legacy.

Consider a statistic from history. 1938 saw the annex of Czechoslovakia by Nazi Germany, Britain and France left its Czech allies to the perils of Hitler and the SS.

In 1939, German tanks roll into the city of Danzig, Poland: France and Britain declare war on Germany.

World War Two death toll: Czechoslovakians: around 40 000. Polish around 5.7 million deaths.

Seems crazy on the balance of things.
