Buchbesprechungen: Atlas Republiky Československé

Summary

This review assesses the Atlas of the Czechoslovak Republic (Prague, 1935), a comprehensive cartographic work praised for its physical, economic, and demographic maps. However, the ethnic and population maps reveal a nationalist bias: Czechs are presented as a unitary nation across the whole state, while German and other minorities are marginalized. The reviewer notes the propagandistic use of color and classification, and urges German scholarship to critically analyze and supplement the atlas with maps addressing historical and social questions. The atlas reflects Czech political dynamics but must be read with caution.
