Gee whiz, there are as many histories of the Czech-German boarders as there are bulletin boarders, it seems! Let's not go for specific nouns about the Czech status after 1938. Suffice to say that Hitler controlled it, and in Ian Kershaw's definitive biog out in recent years he makes a good case for saying that the madman himself put in the hyphen because his mind worked like that. He liked everything neat -- he was a vegetarian doglover, after all. He said many times that he wanted to smash that cardboard country Czechoslovakia, made up after the first war. And he did it by stealth, virtually without shots being fired. First he was given Bohemia and Moravia on September 29, 1938, by France, Britain and Italy in an attempt to prevent war. (Poland grabbed a bit of the Czech bit, too.) In march the following year he strolled his troops into the rest of the Czech side and what we now know as the Czech Republic and Slovakia all fell under his "protection" pretty quickly. (there's one of those nouns again!) Kershaw doesn't go into detail about why, but Hitler put in the hyphen, probably for administrative and bureaucratic reasons, and of course, the hyphen has become a total split in the contemporary Czech Republic and Slovakia. (They are very different places.) My father's Eflat clarinet serial number 262612 is marked "V. Kohlert's Sons Graslitz Czecho-Slovakia". I reckon it means made between 29 September 1938 and early 1945. Any more views?
