Hitler: Countdown To War

Hitler manipulates and plays games with the Czechs and with the Western powers of Britain and France to achieve his ends.

By September 1938, Hitler occupies Austria and is intent on invading Czechoslovakia. However, the British and the French make it clear that they will go to war against Germany if he does so.

Fresh from invading Czechoslovakia, Hitler now turns to his next target: Poland. He sees this vast country as ripe for German expansion, taking him to the borders of the Soviet Union.
