Stamp:<\/strong> Green 6 Mark Reichsparteitag 1934 N\u00fcremberg<\/p>\n

Postmark:<\/strong> Riesa, 20.9.1934<\/p>\n

A map of German population distribution in Czechoslovakia titled \u201cThe Germans in Czechoslovakia.\u201d From the legend, solid red depicts Sudeten Germans (ethnic Germans living in the Sudetenland, a region bordering Germany and Austria), red stripes depict all other German populations, solid yellow depicts Czech, yellow stripes depict Slovakia, and unfilled color depicts other peoples.<\/p>\n

Czechoslovakia was founded by Tom\u00e1\u0161 Garrigue Masaryk in 1918 following the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The multi-ethnic nature of this new country led to civil unrest as the German-speaking population of Sudetenland attempted to secede into the Republic of German-Austria. This movement was ultimately unsuccessful and German-Austria was never a recognized state.<\/p>\n

Hitler started an occupation of Sudetenland in 1938. The eventual goal of the Nazi regime was to eradicate Czech nationality through assimilation, deportation, and extermination of 50% of ethnic Czechs. Czech losses resulting from political persecution and deaths in concentration camps totaled between 36,000 and 55,000.<\/p>\n

Printed in 1934, this postcard was part of a propaganda strategy to incite feelings of injustice in the German population regarding the Sudeten-Germans belonging to Czechoslovakia.<\/p>\n
