Summary/Abstract: As long as Czechoslovakia exists, the Bohemia basin constitutes an advanced sentinel facing the North-West. Under its protection, the forces intended to bar the entrance to the Danubian countries head-on or to block by flanking action any maneuver to the east, across Poland, along the northern shore of the Black Sea or towards the South, across the Alps, against the Italian peninsula, can at leisure make their arrangements in the Danube region. With Czechoslovakia annihilated, the Danube region will be transformed into a base for German expansion in three directions: Italy, the Balkans, Poland and the U.S.S.R. (from the introduction)
