Talk:Jaroslav Stribny

"The most direct result of his act was that Czechoslovakia was given a chance to wage a fierce fight and exact a considerable price from the Germans, rather than being forced into what nationalists like Stribny would have considered a abject surrender - the price being that Czechoslovakia as a whole and Stribny's hometown Prague in particular suffered terrible destruction and bloodshed."

That's probably overstating things. I don't get the sense Germany paid that dearly for Czechoslovakia (more than they did in OTL, of course). France didn't do more than dip their toes into German territory, the USSR was only able to engage Germany in the air, Slovakia sounds as if it threw in with the Germany, Prague had fallen by the end of October.
