Course objectives
The subject will focus on the occupation of Bohemia and Moravia by Nazi Germany in 1938/1939-1945. The course will deal with the development and function of the occupation administration, establishing the Protectorate politics in economical, social, national and cultural areas and with the description and typology of the local illegal structures. The course will also map the activities of the adversaries of the local resistance (the Gestapo, the SD, the criminal and order police, the Protectorate security administration), the mutual co-operation of various resistance organizations and the influence of the international military and political situation on their programmes. The students will get a comprehensive review of the historical and political development of Bohemia and Moravia during the Nazi rule and the forms of resistance against the occupation power. They will also tour the sights of the Second World War in Brno and visit the Kounic Students Hall (former Gestapo prison).
