“The gendarmerie drum is thundering and booming again…” Gendarmerie service in the interwar and wartime period in the memoirs of Karel Machart

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The paper is a micro-historical probe that aims to approach the identity of the state of the civil servant from a subjective perspective. To present the mental frameworks of the author and to highlight his individual perception of historical reality, which changed several times during his life and service. The source of the present paper are three memoirs of the gendarme Karel Machart, who decided to join the ranks of the gendarmerie after returning from the First World War and completing his military service. What motivated him to take this step? How did he reflect in his texts the change in the state system and his own loyalty to the state? The surviving texts cover the period before 1918 to the Second World War, in which the author played two roles and served several state systems. While he spent the First World War as a soldier in the service of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, in the interwar and wartime periods he figured as a gendarme whose state arrangements changed several times. At the beginning, he changed his location frequently, but eventually spent a significant part of his service in the South Bohemian town of Písek. During the Second World War he was arrested for aiding the resistance and imprisoned in the Gestapo in České Budějovice. How did he feel about the change of location? How did he react to the life milestones associated with his profession? To what did his loyalty attach in changing times? And was national feeling intertwined with service to the state? Was his loyalty shaken by his imprisonment in the Gestapo during the Second World War?
