Report on the development, construction and activity of the illegal organization "National Movement of Working Youth" - Národni hnuti pracujici mladeže (NHPM). As of 15.4. 1940. A. Formation of the NHPM and transfer into illegality: After the integration of the Sudetenland in the autumn of 1938, the internal political efforts of the rest of the CSR went away to create a strong internal front by summarizing all forces. The KPČ was not included in this front. Against it was in December 1938 by the former Czech. A general ban was imposed on the government, and an agreement was reached between the other political directions so far as to allow only two political parties to continue to exist in the future. (a) the National Workers' Party - Narodn: strana práce - as a reception organization of all Marxist directions and (b) the Party of National Unity - Strana Národní Jednota - in which the supporters of the national democratic and agricultural parties joined forces. The leadership in the National Workers' Party took over the former SPč officials, but communists and former members of the Beneš Party also received some functions. Shortly after the foundation, the decision was taken to create an organization for the activation of the working youth.
