Nacistické hnutí na Chebsku očima Československých bezpečnostních složek 1933–1938
Nazi Movement in Egerland through the Eyes of the Czechoslovak Security Forces 1933−1938

Summary/Abstract: This paper focuses on the reaction of the Czech security forces in the Egerland area and the growing threat of Nazism within this context during the years 1933−1938. From the examined archive documents it appears that even though the Czech security forces took action against the radical political party Deutsche nationalsozialistiche Arbeiterpartei, their actions against the growing Henlein’s separatist movement was slow and gradual. In the years 1933−1936, the security forces predominantly restrained themselves to keeping order during the Nazi meetings and to monitoring and charting the major Nazi activists including Konrad Henlein. Only in 1936 new police stations were established in the examined region and the State Defense Guard was created. There are also records concerning cases of Nazi espionage in the latter years before the Munich Agreement.
