Propaganda as a form of communication strategy: cinematography in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia
Gerstnerová, Dominika ; Bednařík, Petr (advisor) ; Halada, Jan (referee)
During the 20th century, film became a social phenomenon. Because of this reason it did not take long and also politicians started to use the film industry to influence public opinion. Above all, the history of totalitarian regimes proves that films have served them as a very powerful tool for fulfilling their propaganda goals. This diploma thesis deals with Nazi film propaganda during the Second World War, specifically the influence of Nazi propaganda on Czech feature film in the occupied Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. Because of the fact that Nazi ideology was based on tense nationalism and racial purity which required a broad base for its support and maintenance of power, propaganda was of great importance The aim of this work is thus to find and define Nazi propaganda communication goals in Czech feature film and to identify specific tactics through which these goals should be fulfilled. The basis for researching this issue are the films Kristián (1939), Tulák Macoun (1939), Pro kamaráda (1940), Těžký život dobrodruha (1941), Jan Cimbura (1941) and Prstýnek (1944), which cover various genres and topics and at the same time cover different protectorate periods. The topic of propaganda is viewed in the context of strategic communication as related and in today's scale also superior...

The Trial with K. H. Frank in front of the Extraordinary People's Court
Vozdek, Jakub ; Kuklík, Jan (advisor) ; Soukup, Ladislav (referee)
In my Master's thesis I described in detail the historical process of war criminal Karl Hermann Frank. He was a man who had been influencing the main events in the Czech lands for many years. I divided the thesis in ten chapters. The first chapter is devoted to the personality of K. H. Frank. I tried to briefly describe all the life's milestones of a man justly sentenced to death for his crimes against the Czechoslovak state. In the second and third chapter I focused on two men who played a very important role in the process and extradition of K. H. Frank, Kamill Resler and Bohuslav Ečer. In subsequent chapters I fully dealt with the process itself, from the very start through the daily courses of the trial to the verdict. In conclusion I summarized findings from the process and answer the question about the objectivity of proceedings against the accused.

Hanák, Zdeněk ; Vojtěchovský, Ondřej (advisor) ; Plachý, Jiří (referee)
Dolní Vilémovice 1939-1945. A Czech Village under the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia The thesis deals with the destiny of Dolní Vilémovice, small village which lies in West Bohemia, during the Nazi occupation. It uses sources of local authorities and oral history to describe everyday life of Czech villagers throughout the Second World War. The village mentioned above was not chosen incidentally, as it is a birthplace of Jan Kubiš, one of czech soldiers who commited assassination attempt on Reinhard Heydrich. That is why this thesis also discusses the issue of German repressive measures against the local population, especially against Kubiš family, and anti-Nazi resistance.
