A footnote for Poland perhaps, the legitimization of Nazi annexation for Czechoslovaks. Plus the brief occupation was still upsetting. Czech political orgs got banned, Roman Catholic perishes that belonged to Czech dioecies for a long long time suddenly where forced to leave them and swear to only serve Polish catholics. Pope Pius was close to Poland and let them trample all over them. Enablers all around
The Roman Catholic parishes in the area belonged either to the Archdiocese of Breslau (Archbishop Bertram) or to the Archdiocese of Olomouc (Archbishop Leopold Prečan), respectively, both traditionally comprising cross-border diocesan territories in Czechoslovakia and Germany. When the Polish government demanded after its takeover that the parishes there be disentangled from these two archdioceses, the Holy See complied. Pope Pius XI, former nuncio to Poland, subjected the Catholic parishes in Zaolzie to an apostolic administrationunder Stanisław Adamski , Bishop of Katowice .
I can't find a copy of the source, but a Czech historian of Polish descent's work apparently claims that with the socialists ceasing to be allowed to exist post annexation, left with Poles felt as second-class as before.

Interesting. I actually didn't know much of the situation, only that it happened and knowing Poland, was both a bad idea and handled horribly.
