36 2014/04 memory and history of the study and articles of the art show that overall Czech nobility lost 104,060 ha of its land. The owners did not receive any financial compensation for the estates confiscated for the benefit of the Third Reich. Some of the assets imposed by forced administration were given different levels of support in some cases, but some of them had nothing at all, and most of them were evicted.33 The relief for aristocratic holders of ma- jets did not occur even after Heydrich's death.The Nazis continued to germatize the Czech countries with constant intensity. This time even the country's nobles professing German nationality did not avoid severe repression. No matter whether Czech or German, after winning the war, the nobles had no significant role to play in the territory of former Czech countries. The forced administrator of Hölzl sold the property to the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, respectively, to the replacement of the Nazi-controlled Bodenamt. In order to prevent Rudolf Děpold Czernin from defending himself, on 11 August 1943 the Gestapo arrested him for listening to the foreign radio. Together with Czernin were investigated and subsequently sentenced by Count František Kinský, owner of the castle and large estate Kostelec nad Orlicí, and Charles (Charles) Prince Rohan, owner and owner of Choustník estate.34 Rudolf Děpold spent more than three years in prisons in Kolín, Prague on Pan-step, in Terezín and in camp Golnow u Szczecin.35 From Bodenamt he travelled the large estate and castle to the administration or-ganiza Related Rasse- und Siedlungshauptamt (Rushaupta, Main Racial and Residential Office),36 which, until the end of the war, could only be used as a warehouse of material threatened in Berlin by bombardment.37 mention of the Nazis' intervention on the large estate of Dymokura: The property of Count Rudolf Czernin was sold by forced administrator in the way of the senior office of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia © Entschädigungsfond together with the independent industrial plants, sugar factory, brewery, brick and mill, although these plants do not fall within the competence of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry.

According to the Memorandum of the Union of Large Estateers from the June 1942, forced administration to the property of the Czech nobility was laid in three waves. In the first wave, the estates of the Chlume branch of Kinský and Colloredo-Mannsfeld were found to have a total area of 38 354 ha, and in the second, the assets of 13 other Czech noble families with a total range of 32 927 ha. In the summer of 1942 followed a wave of a third, including five noble families who ran the cell-metal area of 9121 ha. A summary of 80 402 ha. Among the affected nobles were also those who did not participate in the statement of September 1938, and it can therefore be interpreted as a revenge for the signature of their fathers.
