Maršálek, Zdenko ; Gebhart, Jan (advisor) ; Borák, Mečislav (referee) ; Němeček, Jan (referee)
Charles University in Prague Faculty of Arts Institute of Czech Studies Historical Sciences - Czech History Zdenko M a r š á l e k ABSTRACT OF THE PhD THESIS "Česká", nebo "československá" armáda? Národnostní složení československých vojenských jednotek v zahraničí v letech 1939-1945 "Czech", or "Czechoslovak" Army? The ethnic and nationality composition of the Czechoslovak military units-in-exile in 1939-1945 tutor: prof. PhDr. Jan Kuklík, CSc. (†) PhDr. Jan Gebhart, DrSc. 2014 ABSTRACT General background One of the most important phenomena, which is important especially in current and future Europe, is the problem of the personal self-identification of individuals in the multinational and multicultural environment of higher (e.g., political) units, in particular national self- identification. For research about the problems connected with this phenomenon, the sample of the Czechoslovak units-in-exile during the World War II is an almost ideal historical model. The Czechoslovak units were, by far, the most diverse armed forces among the all exile-armies; yet this issue has not attracted the attention it deserves, neither in terms of different nationalities, nor from the perspective of ethnic issues in the units as a whole. The issue of the nationality in the resistance-in-exile was determined by the needs...

TITLE: Prag in May 1945. History of a Rising AUTHOR: Stanislav Kokoška DEPARTMENT: The History and History Didactics Department SUPERVISOR: doc. PhDr. Alena Míšková, Ph.D. ABSTRACT: This study takes a look at a unknown chapter in the Czech modern history: The uprising of the resistance movement under the leadership of the Czech National Council and Military Command of Great Prague - Bartoš against the German occupants on 5th May 1945. the publication describes precisely the uprising as well as the drama of the entire events, and embeds them in the contect of the German and Allied political and military strategy. In 1945 April, the territory of Protectorate itself became the theatre of war operations. The occupation power collapsed swiftly and the course of events speeded towards to a spontaneous uprising. Owing to unfavourable military-political constellation, its course was quite dramatic, involving considerable material damages and casualties.However, the Rising was of enormous moral significance for the Czech nationals of Prague. On the evening of May 8 the German troops left the city, and the next day early in the morning the first units of the Red army marched into Prague. KEYWORDS: World War II - Prague Rising - Czech Resistance Movement

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...

In the autumm, after a coup attempt Henlein's people left border in addition to the German anti-fascists, Jews and Czechs. Already during the phased resigning border migration flows greatly abounded, which were both due to the increase in negative behavior and conduct the "Henlein's" people (some of members of Henlein's Party-SdP) against German anti-fascists, Jews and Czechs, as well as specific measures Nazi regime restricting the living conditions of the population of the occupied territories.

Práce je věnována odškodnění českých obětí nacismu. Nejprve přibližuje, na čem byl založen původní západoněmecký zamítavý postoj a co vedlo k jeho změně. Dále je analyzován průběh fáze individuálního odškodňování a především pak důvody, které spolkovou vládu vedly k rozhodnutí usilovat v této oblasti o globální dohodu. Stejně tak je věnována pozornost postojům československé strany a jejím cílům při jednáních o dohodě.

It identifies broader reasons, signals, stimulations of the whole process, interprets essential moment s and concomitants, searches for causes of creation of spoliation and exploation, conditions which...
