The National Partnership (Czech: Národní souručenství, NS; German: Nationale Gemeinschaft) was the only authorised political movement for Czechs in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. It was created immediately after the German occupation of 15 March 1939 as a top-down mass organisation based on the Führerprinzip, with State President Emil Hácha at its apex. Its proclaimed aims were to “unify and encourage the Czech nation,” promoting national solidarity and loyalty to the Reich, social justice in the economic sphere, and youth education through the Youth of the National Partnership.
