The Plans of the Czechoslovak Resistance-In-Exile for the Post-War Organization of Czechoslovakia and Central Europe in the Period of 1938-1945
 Roudnická, Zuzana ; Jeřábek, Martin (advisor) ; Kubátová, Hana (referee)
This bachelor thesis aims to describe the Czechoslovak resistance plans for the post- war organization of Czechoslovakia which were to be implemented after the end of the Second World War but have never been accomplished. Firstly, the situation in the Czechoslovak resistance is presented. The paper discusses the formation of the Czechoslovak resistance, its transformation into the Czechoslovak government-in-exile, activities of the resistance and problems which needed to be dealt with. This part is essential for understanding latter chapters of the paper. The plans for the post-war organization of Czechoslovakia are studied in the main part of the thesis. The paper features concepts concerning topics such as potential territorial changes, federalisation of Central Europe (including the Czechoslovak-Polish Confederation project), future political system, and the Sudeten German issue. Each concept is described in the context of its background, its development over the course of war, and position of the Allies. The thesis explains the reasons why these plans were abandoned and not carried out after the end of the war.

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.
