The figural composition in the new-roman architecture
BEROVÁ, Martina
This diploma work aims to find a convenient solution of an interier design of a damaged new-roman chapel that was built in the destroyed village Kropfschlag/Mýtiny near the city Nové Hrady in the South Bohemia. The introductory theoretical part outlines problems of the World War II and the following expulsion of the Germans from the Czech border (this part is mainly related to the region of Nové Hrady and is accompanied with local eyewitnesse´s memories). In addition, it includes brief history of the village Kropfschlag/Mýtiny. This part is followed with a reflexion about problems of Czech-German relations. The introductory part leads to a search for a suitable symbol.Firstly, the symbol should aptly express the war and post-war sad events. Secondly, it should have a connection to this original land and furthermore the symbol should be appropriate that it could be installed in the interier of the damaged chapel to force the visitors to thing about the history of this land. The final part is devoted to a description of the method used for implementation of the chosen symbol. The practical part includes documentation of the above-mentioned chapel and a minimized 3D implementation of the chosen symbol.

Bohumil Snizek´s combat mission. From the Protectorate and back to the Czechoslovakia (5th May 1942 - 20th May 1945)
HOLENKA, Zdeněk
In my thesis I deal with the personality and life of Bohumil Snížek. He was one of those who did not reconcile themselves to the fascist Germany occupation of Czechoslovakia. Bohumil Snížek decided to take part actively in the restoration of his motherland. The circumstances compelled him to undertake a long journey through all Europe whose final destination was Great Britain. After a dramatic stay in Switzerland at Dr. Kopecky´s place and imprisonment in the concentration camp Miranda de Ebro he really managed to achieve his final destination via Gibraltar. It took him nearly one and half years. He joined there the newly being born Czechoslovak Foreign Army. He went to the Czechoslovak brigade which was trained for the fight with the enemy from its very establishment. Yet, the Czechoslovak brigade was not provided with the possibility of at least a little intervention in fighting for the liberation of Europe. Bohumil Snížek was detached to Europe by the end of the September 1944 together with the 2nd Armoured Regiment Czechoslovak Brigade. It was the time of the siege of a French port Dunkerque which was considered the battlefield of the second rank by the Czech soldiers. There was an attack on 28th October 1944 planned for the anniversary of the establishment of Czechoslovakia which became the greatest success of the Czech Army in combat. Bohumil Snížek also took part in this battle and was awarded the Czechoslovak Military Cross for his personal bravery. The Czechoslovaks would not mind that they did not manifest themselves in combat after this great success anymore but what they did mind was to connive helplessly at the events happening in Prag in May 1945. Along with the others, Bohumil Snížek came to the liberated Czechoslovakia in the middle of May 1945. His postwar destiny was quite similar to the destiny of the rest of "those from the West". The regime condemned him "only" to be rolled over by the waters of oblivion. Essentially, only his withdrawal from the Army and departure for the West borderland might have rescued him from even severer sanctions. Bohumil Snížek died of the sequel of injuries from Dunkerque in Aš 1959.
