"I am 91 and I would act the same way as back then." How Mašín approached the murders of communists

Josef Mašín, a key figure in the anti-communist resistance, recently passed away at 94. His actions in 1951, including the killing of a police officer, sparked significant controversy. The Mašín brothers aimed to resist the communist regime, with their activities leading to tragic outcomes. They received recognition for their anti-Nazi efforts during WWII, but their later actions have been debated. Mašín reflected on the Czech national character and the historical context of their resistance, emphasizing the need for a more assertive stance against oppression. Their escape to the U.S. marked a significant chapter in their lives, contrasting with the fate of their comrades who suffered under the communist regime.
