Resistance
From 1937 he was a member of the Czechoslovak People's Party, later a member of the Republican Party of Farmers and Peasants. From December 1939 he was a member of the Sokol movement.[3]
Antonín Kollert was involved in the resistance group around Josef Jošt, primarily in the illegal flight of Czechoslovak army members to asylum in foreign countries, which he partially financially supported himself. In January 1940 he was arrested as a member of the resistance group Obrana národa. On 24 April 1942 he was sentenced by the People's Court to the capital punishment for the preparation of high treason and abetting the enemy and he was executed in the Berlin-Plötzensee jail along with three others.[4][5]
He is one of the victims commemorated by the plaque in Hanspaulka, Prague.[6]
