Summary/Abstract: This article focuses on the events that immediately followed the assassination of the acting Reichsprotektor Reinhard Heydrich. The harsh repression, fear and uncertainty of the population of the Protectorate was accompanied by efforts on the part of the occupying authorities to get the “Czech nation“ to take part in showy declarations condemning the assassination and the Czechoslovak government in exile. The article looks at the systematic organisation of these public demonstrations – which employed in the background Czech national motifs and symbols – in relation to the Czech population of the Protectorate.
