39 political representatives (in which they recognised the leading role of the Czechoslovak-His resistance movement in exile and promised that the government would resign at the right time) helped legitimize Beneš's foreign action.13 The above-mentioned Fran-Tišek Schwarzenberg (1913©1992) also moved in the okru-hu presidential office, whose former Chancellor Přemysl Šamal was in the resistance activity. Schwarzenberg was also in contact with Dohalský for some time, but also other resistance fighters (e.g. Ambassador Arnošt Heidrich, Rudolf Jílovský, a group of General Sluneček etc.). Originally he should have joined the service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but the Nazi occupation brought him to the office. From the state services (i.e. even from the National- Him-confidence) he finally stepped out in the spring of 1940 when he disagreed with the Ha- grand proposal that all civil servants sign the pledge of fidelity to A. Hitler, and refused to add his signature to it.14 On the outside he withdrew into seclusion, but he did not interrupt the work for the resistance. He helped families with Nazi persecution, materially provided people working in illegality, sometimes paid for legal costs. In the beginnings of the occupation, he lavished for some time in the National Council, on whose behalf he had already dealt with Runciman's mission. He broke up with Emanuel Moravec, who called him a typical representative of the Republican regime. Of course, Schwarzenberg was no longer in the leadership of the Moravia Council. But let's return to the fates of the legendary "Bedrník" or Zdeněk Boř- Ka-Dohalský and his family. The Dohals embodie a unique example of the Czech nobility of the consonance with the Czechoslovak Republic from the very beginning of its existence. The František brothers (1887©1951), Antonín (1889©1942) and Zdeněk (1900©1945) Bořek-Dohals were not only supporters of the President T.G. Masaryk, but above all, the personifi forged the climax of the pro-cesu nationalization of his family, to which he contributed together with the knowledge of his own, purely Czech roots linking with the civil elites during 13 To the personality of Zdeněk Bořka-Dohalský nearer HAZDRA, Zdenìk: Zdenek Count Bořek-Dohaly z Dohalský z Dohalic © the fate of one noblewoman (1900©1945).
