I've got 1946 and the three other elections during the First Czech Republic if you're interested. I just figured 1935 was the most interesting.

I would have no objections to the others being posted Smiley

Btw, what's with the commie strength around (but evidently not in) Prague? Industrial area back then?

Interesting the overlap between the DSDAP in 1920 and the SDP in 1935 (at least in that western rim).

Not that interesting; just the one was the party that most Germans voted for in 1920 and the other the party that most Germans voted for in 1935. Obviously a German nationalist party was not going to do very well in majority Czech districts.

Yes, this - including that the people most likely to have been willing to listen to Nazi rhetoric about economic problems are probably also the people most likely to be willing to vote socialist.

I don't know enough about Sudetenland politics to comment directly, but that certainly wasn't true in Germany.

Though it is interesting to note that one of the few areas that saw a large and direct red to brown swing (southwest Saxony; Vogtland and the Erzgebirge) bordered the Sudetenland. The usual explanation for that is the weakness of Union and SPD structures in the area (contrast inevitably being drawn with Leipzig) though maybe events over the border also added to a sense of militant nationalism.

Are those the pre-1974 local government boundaries?

Just because something looks like a gerrymander doesn't mean that it necessarily is, and vice versa.

It's a tricky part of the country to draw no matter what you do

Yeah, basic geography is not a friend of the sane electoral map there.
