I won‘t stay with you in the Party, then!
Josef Šubrt was born in 1935. Ever since childhood he was interested in game management and airplanes. During his military service with the airborne unit in Prešov he got an opportunity to develop his interest further. He became an aircraft engineer and an expert on engines. His job brought him to interesting places as he got to travel throughout Europe and also was among those who investigated Czechoslovak president Husák‘s wife tragic helicopter accident. In 1967 he joined the Communist Party with the vision of improving the circumstances. Only a year later, however, following the occupation of Czechoslovakia by Warsaw Pact parties he lost hope and without hesitation left politics for good.
