"During a night meeting with Adolf Hitler and Hermann Göring in Berlin on between 14 and 15 of March, 1939 he was threatened with aerial bombardment of Prague and forced to sign a document accepting of incorporation of Bohemia and Moravia into Germany even though he did not consult the parliament beforehand." Could you please substantiate that claim.
Done. You can access the referenced document online, but unfortunately it is in Czech. It is President Hácha's account on what happened that night. He quotes Göring in German, however:
Ich habe ein schweres Amt. Es würde mir ungemein leid tun; wenn ich diese schöne Stadt vernichten müsste. Aber ich müsste es tun, damit die Engländer und Franzosen wissen, dass meine Luftwaffe eine hundertprozentige Arbeit zu leisten vermag. Denn sie wollen es noch immer nicht glauben und ich möchte den Beweis hierüber liefern.
It stems out of a book from Communist CSR. Does that count as a reliable source, given that they had ulterior motive to misrepresent the course of events. There is good reason to doubt this given the wording in the text. But perhaps that can be corroborated in some way. E.g. the German record on this. 105.12.0.245 (talk) 09:49, 18 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
