State President of Bohemia and Moravia


This is a list of rulers of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, which from 15 March 1939 until 5 May 1945 comprised the German-occupied parts of Czechoslovakia. It includes both the representatives of the recognized Czech authorities as well as the German Reichsprotektoren ("Reich protectors") and the Minister of State, who held the real executive power.

Note, the President Emil Hácha and Prime Minister Rudolf Beran held the office prior the German occupation, during the Second Czechoslovak Republic, and were officially confirmed in those positions (of course with very limited sovereignty and power) by German authorities within few days after the occupation.

Prior to the creation of the office of Reichsprotektor, Johannes Blaskowitz was "Supreme Commander of the Wehrmacht in Bohemia and Moravia" during 15–18 March 1939.

At the eve of Wilhelm Frick's tenure, on 20 August 1943, the German State Ministry for Bohemia and Moravia was created, which assumed many powers of the Prime Minister and of the Reich Protector. Karl Hermann Frank, Higher SS and Police leader in Bohemia and Moravia and the former Secretary of State in the Office of Reich Protector since 1939, was the only German State Minister (with the title Staatsminister im Range eines Reichsministers) for Bohemia and Moravia, reducing the formerly important position of Reich Protector to a ceremonial role.
