Serious omissions[edit]

Comparing this webpage to the Czech version, it seems to whitewash Hašler. The Czech webpage has documented evidence that he was a supporter of the prewar Czech Fascist Party and an admirer of its founder, General Gajda; the English article ignores this aspect of his history entirely.

In his songs Karel Hašler hailed Tomáš Masaryk, a true democrat - not Gajda.--Posp68 (talk) 22:26, 1 November 2016 (UTC) General Radola Gajda's unsuccessful fascist coup was rather reminiscent of an operetta. The Czech version has no evidence that Hašler was a supporter of General Gajda, on the contrary Hašler was tortured to death by the fascists in Mauthausen. --Posp68 (talk) 01:05, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
