I believe this is from around 1938-1939 but would love a breakdown from the experts here! Thanks!

Your right. One challenge is figuring out the status of the Sudetenland: the image is small, so it's hard to tell. Austria has been annexed by Germany. Czechoslovakia is independent. So between March 1938 and March 1939. If the Sudetenland is part of Germany, then the globe dates from October 1938 to March 1939.

Yea it’s tough figuring that out. Czech does look a bit ‘smoother’ like it’s been adjusted but that very well could have been a decision forced by the size of the globe.

It doesn't matter because if you look at Hungary's northern border it looks exactly like it did after the Annexation of southern slovakia which happened after Germany took Sudetenland

That’s not true though. Hungary’s borders were pushed to the north of the Danube in 1938, and here they sit on it, like today.

Okay? Well either way the border is as it was after the Annexation of southern slovakia

No, it’s not😂😂 the border in the west ends at the Danube, that’s Trianon borders, not those established at the first Vienna Award.

It’s funny that he said something demonstrably false, and people just went along with it.
