Emil Hácha as State President of the Protectorate Böhmen und Mähren
Šafr, Jakub ; Rataj, Jan (advisor) ; Martínek, Miloslav (referee)
JUDr. Emil Hacha is one of the most controversial figures of our modern history. He is best known as the so --called State president of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia and the symbol of collaborator in 1939 -- 1945 in the awareness of the nation. Opinions of his activity in the position of supreme protectorate official are different among historians. Some consider him to be a sacrifice of the tragic time and symbol of resistance who fought to the last moments to save the Czech nation. Some present tendentious publicists and radical conservatives find him even as the hero in occupied country. Others accuse him of treachery and collaboration, which helped to legitimize the occupation system. In the case of Hacha it was a specific form of collaboration with elements of retardation. This pro-German activism consisted mainly in his political-ideological orientation of antiliberal radical conservatives with historical-constitutional vision of concept of the Czech statehood in terms of Holy Roman Empire. E. Hacha applied his conception to Nazi III. Empire. Hacha's applicability for Nazis lay in his typical clerical duty to obey the superior authorities. Hacha doesn't belong among the adherents of Nazi doctrine, but his appeasement policy allowed to Nazis to dominate over the remaining Czech territory and despite of his national feeling he led inadvertently the Czech nation to factual destruction. He was for Nazis the most appropriate partner for their realization of final solution of Czech issue and subsequent Germanization instead of the Czech fascists and the active collaborators of E. Moravec. Although Hacha as the state president represented the contemporary symbol of collaboration, some nowadays opinions reinterpret his acts mistakenly and in its result they apologize or even overstate Hacha's collaboration.
