First sentence: At the end of March 1939 Europe lay less than six months away from its second universal conflict in a generation, after German chancellor Adolf Hitler reneged on a previous promise made to British prime minister Neville Chamberlain at Munich, annexing the Czechoslovakian rump into his ever-expanding vision of a Greater Germany.
