Václavík, Robert ; Gebhart, Jan (advisor) ; Šedivý, Ivan (referee)
In the period of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, the Czech Union of Warriors (CUW) was an organisation collaborating with the occupational power. Te founder of the CUW, Otto Bláha, a retired colonel of gendarmerie, in 1940 promoted to general, tried to achieve the dissolution of military associations existing till then, attempting to form a unified organisation of war veterans. One of the pillars of the CUW was the Czech Union for Collaboration with Germans, in which Bláha was in charge of invervention activites with German authorities. The scond pillar of the rising CUW was the Union of Front Soldiers. Bláha took over the leadership in this union and from the occupational bodies acquired an approval to form a unifeid organisation under the managment of the newly forming CUW. In spite of all the endeavours of CUW, it never happened. The Articles of the CUW were approved of in 1914 and Bláha was appointed its head. The CUW was often in contact with the bodies of both the protectorate and occupational administrations and filed a number of proposals ofrt he integration of CUW int the public and political lives.

Miroslav Eisenhammer Forced use of secondary school students during the occupation Supervisor: PhDr. Jan Gebhart, CSc., DSc. Abstract This dissertation deals with yet completely unprocessed issue of forced labor deployment of secondary and vocational school pupils in the Czech lands during the occupation by Nazi Germany. After the initial characteristics of the development of the German and the Protectorate economy and the Nazi attitude to use workforce of its own population and of occupied countries, the other chapter is devoted to the situation in the Czech education in 1939-1945. The Nazis considered the Czech intelligence as the enemy, so after the closure of Czech universities they deliberately restricted Czech secondary education. These restrictions did not have only national political, but also economic significance. From 1939 workers from the Czech lands were sent to work in the Reich. This trend increased significantly from 1942, when Germany intensified the expansion of war production and at the same time they started extensive program of forced labor of foreign workers in German industry. One of the labor sources were secondary school pupils, who the new legislation from February 1943 allowed to acknowledge de facto incomplete education based on the confirmed certificate in forced labor...

The transformation of the occupation policy in the administration demain from the summer 1942 to the end 1943
Havlínová, Jana ; Randák, Jan (advisor) ; Gebhart, Jan (referee)
The beginning of the occupation of the Czech Lands was closely linked to a variety of political, economic, and social problems. It was necessary to gain control over all respective administrative structures in order to ensure the smooth function of the state. In the first phases of the occupation, the temporary military administration was established and the basis for the future development of occupational structures was thus laid. An autonomous administration continued to work alongside the two-levelled German administration. Although the German administration was to take care of German citizens' affairs and to watch over the Protectorate authorities, the autonomous one soon began to succumb under the German influence. After some time, it became obvious that the German administration was overgrown and inefficient; that a reform had to be made. A man behind the reform was Reinhard Heydrich, sent to the Protectorate with a special mission to restore order. The number of occupational authorities was supposed to be diminished together with the number of staff, the redundant employees to be commanded to the frontline. This situation was made easier by the fact that the autonomous bodies had already been infiltrated by German officials; therefore there were not many difficulties while taking over them....

JUDr. Vladimír Vochoč. The Czechoslovak consul in Marseille (1938-1941)
Hájek, Adam ; Gebhart, Jan (referee) ; Kuklík, Jan (advisor)
Životní příběh JUDr. Vladimíra Vochoče, který jsem si vybral jako téma své diplomové práce, se dá vnímat z několika perspektiv. Bezpochyby nejdůležitější je Vochočova činnost za II. světové války, kdy působil jako československý konzul v Marseille nejen po březnu 1939, ale i po porážce Francie. Podařilo se mu díky osobní odvaze a zevrubné znalosti mezinárodního práva udržet v chodu konzulát a pomáhat Čechoslovákům i německým a rakouským emigrantům ohrožených nacisty až do března 1941, kdy byl na nátlak Němců konzulát uzavřen. Z tohoto pohledu se Vochoč, dosud řadový úředník ministerstva zahraničních věcí, ukazuje jako "hrdina všedního dne", tedy člověk, který jakoby pouhým dodržováním úřední přísahy československému státu a zásluhou vnitřního přesvědčení dokázal tváří v tvář bezprostřednímu nebezpečí obstát ve zkoušce, ve které mnozí z jeho kolegů obstát nedokázali. Tato "hvězdná hodina" Vochočova života se stala ústředním bodem mé práce. Pro pochopení Vochočova postoje v krizových okamžicích během války je ale nutné přiblížit také období utváření jeho osobnosti, vlivu jeho rodiny a prostředí, ze kterého vyšel. V tomto okamžiku se ukazuje další možná perspektiva Vochočova životního příběhu vyrůstajícího z kořenů demokratické a silně vlastenecké rodinné tradice - účasti děda Františka na májovém spiknutí...
