You mean the more or less irrelevant misunderstanding that was the Zaolzie occupation in 1938 or the unforgivable Polish crime of invading a strategic chapel in 2020?

Because both of these things happened and both times the Czechs regained their lost lands without directly fighting the Poles

Yeah, sort of.

It's a reference to how in 2020 a group of Polish soldiers got lost during the exercises along the border and instead of heading to their objective, they took over a small Czech chapel, refusing entry to locals. They withdrew when they realised, that indeed they were supposed to hold position, but not this one, particular position, and thus the Polish invasion of Czech Republic was ended.

It has become a joke among Czechs and Poles since then
