K průběhu henleinovského povstání na Osoblažsku a ve Městě Albrechticích v září 1938

Abstract

The study describes and analyses the progress of the pro‑Nazi uprising of the German population of the Osoblažsko promontory and the city of Albrechtice in September 1938. The research is primarily based on the records from the post‑war Czechoslovak investigation and then on German sources from the period of Nazi occupation. Attention is paid to the social and professional structure of the insurgent leadership as well as the role of imperial institutions. The study also seeks to analyse the relationships between the components of the insurgent apparatus (party leadership, local public officials, command corps of paramilitary formations and other). Another area of research is the defence strategies and self‑stylization of the insurgents during the post‑war investigation. The course of events described is perceived within a wider strategic and political context
