34. SUDETEN AREA.--As part of the lands of the Crown of Bohemia, these   
areas were ceded to Czechoslakia by Austria in the Treaty of St. Germain,   
September 10, 1919.  They were incorporated into Germay as a consequence   
of the Munich agreement of September 30, 1938.  This agreement was   
subsequently denounced by Great Britain and France, and was never   
   recognized by the United States and the Soviet Union.

continous territory, but extends around the western frontiers of   
Czechoslovakia.  Cession of the territory destroyed the defenses, the   
  communications sytem, and the economy of Czechoslovakia.
