Documents and Materials Relating to the Eve of the Second World War

This work was published by the Soviet Government in reply to the State Department's publication in 1948 of the collection of German documents entitled "Nazi-Soviet Relations 1939-1941." The first volume contains documents (in English translation) from the German Foreign Office relating chiefly to the Munich affair of 1938, while Volume Two consists of private papers found on the estate of Herbert von Dirksen, German Ambassador in London during that same period. The object, of course, is to show how the Czechs were sold down the river.
