War Guilt of Jap Emperor Minutes Reveal 1931 Concession
Extracts from a notorious 1931 conference between Hitler and Hacha show Germany offered “protection” to justify annexation of Bohemia and Bavaria. Hitler warned Britain and France could not aid Czechoslovakia and Germany prepared to act at 6 am to crush Czech resistance. The minutes also reference Hungary’s possible seizure of Czech regions after a manufactured incident. Experts note Hess’s mental state and Japan’s wartime deliberations with Shidehara and other leaders, suggesting wartime strategy discussions included Britain and the United States.
