| Description | The author describes the career of the journalist and chess writer, František Josef Prokop (1901-1973), who, after the establishment of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, joined the small group of leading pro-German journalists and became editor-in-chief of a Czech daily newspaper, České slovo, and, later, Lidové listy. The article focuses on the key moments of his career as he was trying to make his mark as a journalist in the Protectorate. It also seeks to interpret the causes of his rise and the motives for his collaboration. In addition, the author aims to assess the newspaper coverage of the trial of the former Premier of the Protectorate government, General Alois Eliáš (1890-1942), in which, in early October 1942, Prokop - together with a leading collaborator journalist, Karel Werner - played a considerable part. |
