A Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ correspondent describes in detail his experiences of Czechoslovakia as German troops move into the border areas following the Munich Agreement. On a journey from Prague to the occupied zones he bears witness to refugees, demobbed Czechoslovak soldiers, war defences and Hitler's visit.
Ralph Murray was one of the first reporters to travel through the Sudetenland after the Munich Agreement of September 1938. He was a pioneering reporter in many ways, being one of the earliest to give an outside broadcast (in 1936) and to develop a commentary style of reporting that was fed directly into news bulletins.
