Veselá, Lenka ; Bednařík, Petr (advisor) ; Cebe, Jan (referee)
Diploma thesis "Change of the Soviet Union image in the protectorate press based on comparison of the media content from the turn of August/September 1939 and June/July 1941" deals with the manner in which the protectorate newspapers informed about the Ribbentop-Molotov Pact and later about the German invasion of the Soviet Union. The examples of these events and their reflection in the Protectorate press demonstrate how flexibly the protectorate propaganda responded to the current political line. For the purposes of the thesis, there have been selected three newspapers: Polední list, Večerní České Slovo and Venkov. These periodicals were examined in two time-bound periods, from 23rd August till 27th September 1939 and from 16th June till 14th July 1941. The methodology used is a historical comparative analysis, which discusses the transformation of Protectorate propaganda attitudes in the dependence on the historical context, and semiotic analysis, which deals with period media discourse and reveals ideology sustained on the level of sign systems.

Nezdařil, Petr ; Václavů, Lubor (advisor) ; Pokorný, Jiří (referee)
The aim of the thesis is to cover the variability of the protectorate press propaganda in relation to the generational and social belonging of the target readership group. This has been researched through analysing three collaboration newspapers - Arijský boj, Zteč and Přítomnost. Propagandist images have been reconstructed based on an analysis of three large topics, namely depicting the classes of the protectorate intellectuals, the youth and finally the Jewish minority. Except for covering the specific propagandist techniques, the aim is also an attempt to evaluate the perspectives of accepting these images by the protectorate society, and of explaining why they failed. Due to the primary sources that were used in the research, presented thesis affects mainly the period between 1942 and 1945.

Kacerovský, Tomáš ; Čížek, Martin (advisor) ; Šmidrkal, Václav (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on the foreign Waffen-SS legions that had been fighting alongside the German army in the Second World War. The Nazis came out with the idea of establishing an international military force, that would consist of citizens of the currently occupied countries. The key thesis is based on the thought that the Nazis managed to create such legions, that consisted of men who decided to fight against the Soviet Union and Bolshevism, led by the idea of being a part of a so called European army. The first chapter focuses on the elementary factors within the establishment of the foreign legions. Though the Nazis knew they had been acting against their own ideology, and Adolf Hitler himself views the legions rather sceptically, Waffen-SS needed more soldiers in favour of becoming a fully competent armed force. The second chapter speaks about the ordinary volunteers, who decided to serve in the legions and about their motivation. This chapter is also facing an issue in terms of distinguishing each sort of the legion members, who served based on various different reasons and ideas.

Blichová, Larisa ; Dolanský, Pavel (advisor) ; Lysoňková, Lenka (referee)
The thesis is making a qualitative analysis of the Nazi propaganda in Národní politika during the period 1939-1941. These first three years of World War II were most important in shaping the cooperation between the media and the occupying power. The thesis is focused on anti-Semitic propaganda and its development during those three years in one of the most highly read daily newspaper in the Protectorate. Through the examples of a few chosen articles and adverts, this propaganda is shown concretely. The texts are analysed to reveal their true meaning, as well as the real authors and readers. By real authors, I mean the Nazis and the occupying power, as most of the articles from the following period are missing a signature. Texts are chosen from different times of year and from different sections of the paper, and each chapter includes a short overview of the historical context. There is a summary of propaganda tools, trend changes in protectorate communications, and changes in showing Jews at the end of the thesis.
