Action Ležáky. Ordinary village
KYNCL, Vojtěch
The aim of this final thesis is to describe one of the most important war crimes in Czechoslovakia. There have been written several books on the problem of the parachute group Silver A. However, only a small number of those books follows both the native co-workers of the group and their opponents. This final thesis is divided into eight chapters. The first chapter describes the curriculum vitae and the career of the SS-Obergruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich. The second chapter analyses the parachuting completed in the Protectorate in 1941 and the meeting of those parachutes with the native revolting people and Gestapo. The third chapter concentrates on the internal structure of the Gestapo office in Pardubice which was the main element in the tragedy of Lezaky. The fourth chapter focuses on the problem and theoretical analysis of the informers. The main theme is the regional organisation of APF, whose main activity was developed mainly in East Bohemia. The fifth chapter describes the activity of the group Silver A in spring 1941 and the following assassination of Reinhard Heydrich. This is described by from the point of view of a witness, Heinz Pannwitz, who was the chief of more than ninety investigators. The sixth chapter describes the organization structure of the 20th reserve police regiment ?Böhmen?, the mental strain of the members of the regiment and the beginning of martial law in villa ?Zamecek? in one of the suburbs of Pardubice. The seventh chapter concentrates on some important events in Lezaky such as taking of some revolting people into custody was a signal for those who were free. The main question is, how the arrested reacted to the fact that the revolting people were revealed. The next important event was in Berlin, where the destiny of the village was discussed at the table of the Führer. Moreover, the chapter also contains what exactly happened with the people in the village during the day when it was burned out. The death of the last member of the group Silver A, Jiri Potucek, regarding the after-war investigation cannot be omitted. The eighth chapter describes the tragedy of Lezaky and the propagandistic use of the event in the post war Czechoslovakia ? this all from until now published literature. The analysis of literature can be found at the end of eigth chapter this thesis.
