On 15 March 1939 Hitler and his deputy summoned the Czech President to Hitler’s residence in Berlin and then bullied him to submitting to a German invasion of his country.
They drove him to the point of physical collapse, threatening him until he eventually signed his country’s death warrant.

Many incredible people walked through the doors while I was working at DFID. Jimmy Carter was one I will never forget. At 92, he belted out a speech about how we can overcome neglected tropical diseases, highlighting the progress and what needed to be done next, and he inspired us all.

🤫 Sneak preview: Really excited about this new @gojauntly.bsky.social walking challenge, the Million March. It’s a 1 million steps challenge for 2025. It’s about 2.7k steps a day so quite achievable and great for those intimidated by the Walk 2025km distance challenge (🙋🏻♀️).
Launching very soon 😊
