Formování československého zahraničního odboje v prvním roce okupace
The forming of the czechoslovak foreign resistance in the first year of the occupation

Summary/Abstract: Soon after the Munich events, many Czechoslovak public employees and army officers started to prepare for resistance. The exodus of those who wanted to raise the weapon in the upcoming period began immediately after the occupation. The army started to form behind the border again. The core and active part of the foreign resistance was formed primarily by Czechoslovak air force members. The soldiers who decided to emigrate voluntarily left the country legally soon after the occupation, mainly in the spring and summer of 1939. Many of Czechoslovak senior officers perceived the end of the second republic with relief. Finally it was clear what was going on. This is where we stand, and a clearly defined enemy is on the opposite side.
