Jan A. Bata ordered 2,000 Czechoslovak technical experts be sent to Great Britain, the United States and to neutral countries. Also, see on page 2 where Muska is arranging Bata funds for evacuating Czech soldiers who were stranded in France.  Muska is describing raising about 1,000,000 Francs for this purpose. This is interesting because of the new hit movie soon to be released in the cinema called Dunkirk. This is important because is shows the planning of J.A.Bata to help people who were in desperate need.

Such a person was considered to be a criminal and a collaborator in our country until 2007. Up to now, his descendants are judging the property that was unlawfully stolen by means of criminal Benes decrees, including family property, such as a villa in Zlín, where Czech radio is today. This is how 30 years after November 89 our country lives with its greatest son and patriot. Democracy, law and justice can not be controlled, only the descendants of those who began liquidating them since 1945. That is why the ideas of J. Bati and Bata are still up to date. It was the largest company in the first republic of Czechoslovakia and the seventh largest in the world. Well read the testimony of the times in English and the Czech in the appendix below!
