National Partnership

The National Partnership (Czech: Národní souručenství, NS, German: Nationale Gemeinschaft) was the only authorized political party in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia.

Membership was mandatory for all Czech male full-aged citizens of the Protectorate.

The Prime Minister of Bohemia and Moravia Alois Eliáš was in communication with the Czechoslovak government-in-exile and helped the Czech Resistance movement until he was executed in June 1942.

[2] After the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich in 1942, Emanuel Moravec gained propaganda influence.
