Leserbrief an Sudetenpost

Zur Satzungsänderung konnte ich mich bislang nicht äußern, weil es mir unmöglich war, meiner Empörung in gesitteter Form Ausdruck zu geben.

Nachdem wir im Juli 1945 überfallartig aus unserem Haus in Reichenberg vertrieben worden waren und uns eine miserable, völlig verwanzte Wohnung in einem anderen Stadtteil zugewiesen worden war, wandte sich meine Mutter an das Britische Konsulat in Prag, um sich über unseren rechtlichen Status zu informieren. Meine Eltern lebten seit 1927 in Indien, meine beiden Brüder und ich sind dort geboren und unser Vater befand sich seit Kriegsbeginn in britischer Internierung in Indien. Ohne mit der Wimper zu zucken und auch nur eine Minute Zeit zu verlieren, erteilte der Konsul meinen Brüdern und mir die britische Staatsbürgerschaft und stellte uns – einschließlich unserer Mutter, weil wir minderjährig waren – unter seinen Schutz.

THE CZECH CAUSE

Nash Bata JohnBy John NashBata  Jan head of Bata company 260739

"You all know about the chief's attitude in the prewar years. Sure, all we Batamen, from the chief to the last man in the ranks of the industrial Empire anywhere were Czech patriots.[1]

“When the Munich crisis cam near and the government could not procure money for armament by loans - a Defense Donation Action was started. The Governor of the National Bank who initiated this drive was very pessimistic whether it would bring more than 300 million Kc (Czech Crowns). Then he called on the Chief, Jan A. Bata. The chief called on you in turn to support and promised to give as much as you all over the world would donate. In one day a 30 million Kc. donation was collected. The Defense Donation Action was oversubscribed with 1,500 million during five days.[2]

Czech History: Lost and Found

Nash Bata JohnBy John NashBata Jan Antonin

The man who supplied Czechoslovakia with strategic defense materials and industries prior to WWII remains unknown

It is just incredible that one of the most important Czechs, responsible for the acquisition of a tremendous supply of raw materials as well as the development of key defense industries in Czechoslovakia is unknown to Czechs. This article discovers a lost piece of Czech history that shows how one man and his nationwide organization of more than 40,000 Czechs and Slovaks was preparing enough raw materials to sustain the Czech Army for at least two years. This effort involved the development of specialized industries to convert the raw materials into necessary defense items like tires, gas masks, and other strategic materials to support the Czech Army and defend the nation. This article traces the acquisition of the raw materials until the events of Munich. After Munich, these raw materials and specialized industries were disassembled in Zlin and transported to areas of the world that were still free. And finally, how these industries were reassembled and repurposed to support the Allied Cause. Readers will discover importance of the Czech businessman who was the mastermind and financier of this effort. Incredibly, this story is completely unknown to the Czech people.

Batanagar’s Support for the RAF Exceeds 1 Billion U.S. Dollars

Nash Bata JohnBy John NashJAB Wartime Cable from Batanagar to Dr.  Jan A. Bata

It has come to light how the men, materials, and equipment sent out of Czechoslovakia by Jan A. Bata were used after the Munich crisis. It turns out that after the Munich decision of Sept. 1938, Jan Bata ordered the disassembly of an enormous amount of machinery and equipment from Zlin. This machinery was a part of defense industries that Bata has created for at the request of the Czech general staff. As soon as it became apparent that Czechoslovakia would not defend itself, Bata decided to ship everything possible out of the country. As a part of this effort, one container ship packed with Zlin machinery was sent to India.

Cekota AntoninBy Anthony CekotaBata Jan  Antonin

"On Mach 15, 1939, Hitler scrapped the piece of paper signed in Munich by the representatives of the French and British governments, and occupied the remaining Czech lands of Bohemia and Moravia.”

“As I watched the panzer columns of the Nazi army stream past the Bata factories into the city of Zlin.”

“Behind the army moved the Gestapo, tall men in high boots and black Mercedes with mounted megaphones, steel filing cabinets and sub-machine guns.”
