German And Czech Soldiers Greet Each Other. Czech soldiers, left, merely salute German soldier when the met in the streets of Iglau in Moravia. In contrast to the scenes on the polish border when the Hungarian troops arrived after their advance through Ruthenia and the troops embraced each other warmly, the form, of greeting between Czech soldiers and German troops when they met after the advance into Moravia was coldly formal. Beyond the exchange of salutes, there were no other expressions of greeting at all between the two sides. March 21, 1939. (Photo by Associated Press Photo).
