This PRESENTATION was prepared by John Nash to demonstrate that Jan Antonin Bata provided financial, organizational, and moral support for the Czechoslovak resistance and the defense of Czech people prior to the Munich Crisis and throughout the war. Bata’s support for his country was unprecedented. It is our hope that eventually, Jan Bata will be rightfully recognized as Czech patriot for the great service he rendered to his country.
