Original Munich Agreement to be loaned to Czech Republic

The German authorities have agreed to loan the original Munich Agreement text to the Czech Republic. The document, which formalised the annexation of Czechoslovakia’s Sudeten regions to Nazi Germany in 1938 will be displayed at the Czech National Museum in Prague. Previously, the Czech Republic had been given a copy of the document, to be permanently displayed in the Czech Senate, but after some negotiation, the Czech authorities managed to persuade their German counterparts to part with the original.
