TY - GEN N1 - ill. ; 24 cm N2 - The Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia (15–16 March 1939–9 May 1945) can be described as part of Nazi Germany with certain elements of state sovereignty. The article endeavours to describe the everyday life of Czech society in this state during the winter period, as it was during the cold winter months that residents living in the region found it most difficult to face the impact of war on their everyday life. On the other hand, Hitlerite and collaborationist propaganda tried to pretend that life continued as normal, which the residents of the Protectorate reputedly owed to the generosity of the Third Reich. Protectorate Praguethus celebrated the Christmas season, held balls during the carnival period, and children played in the snow all against a background of wide-spread repression against the local Jewish community and against the Czech Resistance. At the same time, the most important Nazi German holidays also occurred in the winter months, particularly the Day of the German Revolution (30 January), during which the residents of the Protectorate were forced to take part in the German occupant charity event (ex. Winterhilfe). The article focuses on the contrast between the annual cycle of traditional holidays, which helped people survive the gruelling reality and political holidays, which were intended to discipline ordinary residents. However, even freak weather conditions were used to political effect during the winter months (e.g. the foul weather on 15 March 1939, floods in mid-March 1940) L1 - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/Content/64938/WA308_84249_P714_Zima-w-Protektoracie_I.pdf M3 - Text J2 - Winter in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia.
