Military Airdrops from the Soviet Union in Žďársko and Novoměstsko. Contribution to the Partisan Resistance in Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia in 1944-1945

This thesis analyzes the partisan movement during World War II in the regions of Žďársko and Novoměstsko in the years 1944-1945. It defines the concept of the "partisan" with regard to the matter in question. It further outlines the positions of Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union on partisan resistance and comments on this type of resistance activity on the Eastern Front. Integral to this thesis is also a survey into the development of resistance organisations in the region of interest. The last two chapters classify the overall activity of partisan airdrops and divide the partisans in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia during World War II into different categories.
