Národní obec fašistická (NOF), German National Fascist Congregation , was a small Czech fascist party in Czechoslovakia and in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia .
history
The Národní obec fašistická was founded on March 23, 1926 through the merger of several organizations. Its founder and chairman was Radola Gajda , a participant and important commander of the Czechoslovak legions in World War I and general of the Czechoslovak army until 1926 . Programmatically, the party committed itself to the Italian fascism of Mussolini , its program included, among other things, the formation of a totalitarian state based on the Italian model. It usually appeared with radically anti-Jewish slogans, but it was also anti-German (after the Munich Agreement , it sided with the defenders of state sovereignty). Various youth organizations such as “Omladina”, “Obrana” or “Junáci NOF”, some of which were organized as paramilitary groups, worked in the area around the party, as well as the student organization “Fašistické studentské sdružení”, the women's association “Fašistická pomoc” and others. The press organs included "Stráž říše", "Fašistické listy" "or" Národní věstník ".
The party never achieved any special significance. Their spread was greatest during the economic crisis of the 1920s, especially in rural areas but also in some industrial centers in Prague , Brno , Pardubice and Ostrava . In the parliamentary elections in 1929, however, she got only 0.9% of the vote and in 1935 2% of the vote, she was only able to record successes locally, for example in the municipal elections in 1932 in Týn nad Vltavou in South Bohemia , where she held 7 out of a total of 30 seats in the Community council became the strongest force.
In 1939 her attempt to form a government failed. In an action with other right-wing extremist and fascist groups such as Vlajka or Akce národní obrody, Národní obec fašistická had formed a so-called Český národní výbor (“Czech National Committee”) under Gajda's leadership, which was supposed to provide a government in line with the occupation regime. The German authorities then preferred the government favored by President Emil Hácha from the former Czech coalition parties. Národní obec fašistická merged with the Národní souručenství organization , although it was reorganized after September 1940 - without Gajda - until it was dissolved on January 1, 1943 at the instigation of Emanuel Moravec , Minister in the Protectorate Government and collaborator with the National Socialists.
