Hitler: Countdown To War - Episode Guide

This episode reveals how Hitler manipulated and played games with the Czechs and with the western powers of Britain and France to achieve his ends.

By September 1938, Hitler had occupied Austria and was intent on invading Czechoslovakia. But the British and the French had made it clear that they would go to war against Germany if he did so.

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