Shot down Polish plane November 29 1938

[Michal]

Just some small notices about military clashes between in November 1938 between Polish and Czechoslovakian Armies. Zaolzie (or Zaolší) is not only one region which was taken by Polish Troops: After Munich capitulation of Czechoslovakia, Poland exploited the situation to satisfy its territorial claims in Slovakia. These related principally to the border areas of Čadca, Orava, Spiš and Tatranská Javorina, all the subjects of past disputes. The new definition of the state frontier in accordance with Polish Note of the 1st November 1938 came up against resistance from the local population. In retaliation, the leaders of the Polish State decided militarily to occupate the territories claimed several days before the agreed date of evacuation. This led, on the 25th November, to a military clash between the Polish and Czechoslovakian Troops near Čadca, and a second military conflict took place on November 27th in Vysoké Tatry (High Tatras) near Ždiar. The interrupted negotians of the mixed Czechoslovakian-Polish Delimitation Commission after military clashes were resumed and culminated in signing of delimitation protocol on November 30th 1938. According to Czechoslovakian Politicians, Diplomats and Soldiers it was really "small war" with dead casualties on both sides. So, your comment oof October 1938 and no "small war" is totally out of historical true. Question of supposedly shot down POlish Plane is straight connected with military clashes in November 1938.
