![[First emblem of Vlajka]](../images/c/cz}vlajk.gif)
by Aleą Kříľan, 25 Jul 2002
„Vlajka“ Political movement called Vlajka („Flag“)was active before
and during WW2 in Czech lands.
Its Leader was certain J. Rys - Rozsévac. Political program was extremely
right, nationalist, antisemtic and tended to Nazism.
Before War no flag of Vlajka is known (to me), but the emblem, consisting
of golden Svatopluk Rods with linden branch and with Bohemian flag flying
to the rigth. I saw some snaps of their party convetions, where several
other symbols were displayed, such as armorial banners (squares) of Bohemia,
Moravia, Slovakia and Subcarpathian Ruthenia.
After German occupation Vlajka struggled with Protectorate government
for „place under German sun“. Vlajka newspaper „Árijský boj“ („Aryan fight“)
was one of the worst political tabloids of fascist orientation.
In the beginning of 1940ies Vlajka merged with Český národne socialistický
tábor (Czech National Socialist Camp). Main symbol of CNST-Vlajka was
so called „Runový kríľ“ (Runen Cross), a mysterious sign which has
nothing to do neither with Runen nor with cross (see below).
Vlajka was (fortunately) not a mass organisation, but dangerous for
patriots, because its collaboration with German secret police. Leader Rys-Rozsévac
was (as far I know) after war executed.
