Hacha, Emil

    0.04 sec.

Hacha, Emil (1872–1945)

Czech politician, president, and lawyer. He succeeded Benes as President after the 1938 Munich Pact. As German forces entered the country on 14 March 1939, he was forced to sign a declaration in Berlin placing his country under German ‘protection’. In 1945 he was arrested as a war criminal but died before he could come to trial.

Born at Trhove Suiny, Bohemia, in the modern-day Czech Republic. After practising as an advocate he became president of the Czechoslovak supreme administration court (1925). After March 1939 Hacha was left nominally in office, but in reality he was only the ‘State president’ of the German-ruled ‘Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia’. He soon urged the Czechs to support the German occupation.
