English Translation
- Germany, 134.31l to Folen and 288, 803 to Hungary.The economic losses were even more catastrophic than the losses to territory and population. Czechoslovakia lost its territory with the largest industry, almost all its coal reserves, 70 & the iron industry, s0 & the textile industry, nearly its sanctified glass and porcelain industry and finally a considerable part of its rich wooden cellars. In economic terms, their losses exceeded by far a third of material wealth, national income declined by no less than 40 y. On the other hand, the borders of the Chechoslo-wakei imposed by the Abkoresen of Mainchen and Vienna torn their iron lines in various places, which meant that any strategic defense of the hull state would not be possible; on the other side, the economic life on Cha- de and U'gnade had been delivered to the Germans.The power supply of Prague and the drinking water supply of several major cities was now in retchs-German territory, while the capital itself was in the area of the German artillery. The two main industrial centres, Pilsen in Faemen and Moravian-Östrau in Moravia, were now no more than 1 km away from the border.
