  Pražský hrad - Emil Hacha
When Emil Hacha left for Berlin on March 14, 1939 he was still Czechoslovak President, even though truncated and in his heart transformed by the Munich Agreement and the arbitration in Vienna in the autumn of 1938.
Hacha published scientific papers on issues of international law, he was an expert in Anglo-Saxon law and also a connoisseur of English literature; together with his brother he translated the well known humorous novel "Three Men in a Boat" by Jerome K. Jerome.
On May 13, 1945 the Minister of the Interior Vaclav Nosek ordered Hacha's arrest at the Castle in Lany and he was taken to the prison hospital at Pankrac where he died in the evening of June 27 (not on June 1 as is falsely claimed in many dictionaries and other publications).

 The complex legacy of the president many would prefer to forget - 28-06-2005 - Radio Prague
It was an event that wasn't marked with pomp and ceremony: Emil Hacha remained in office throughout the German wartime occupation, and he is remembered by many as a symbol of wartime collaboration.
Although contacts with London were broken off, Hacha and Elias, with their obvious Czech patriotism, remained a thorn in the side of the Germans, and when the hard line Reinhard Heydrich became Hitler's man in occupied Bohemia and Moravia, Elias was removed, arrested and then executed, and the increasingly frail Hacha became completely marginalized.
Emil Hacha died in the hospital in Prague's Pankrac prison on the 27th June 1945 just six weeks after the end of the war.

In 1935, Benes was elected President of the Assembly of the League.  Back in Prague, Benes held the post of Foreign Minister until 1935, when he resigned this responsibility to replace Masaryk as President of Czechoslovakia.
On 15 March 1939, Hacha was bullied into signing an act calling for German protection.  The Wehrmacht entered Prague, and Bohemia-Moravia became a German protectorate with little political control.  Slovakia proclaimed its independence and became a free state under German military occupation.  Ruthenia was independent for one day until taken by the Hungarians.
WWII offered new hope to the Czechs in exile.  On 11 December 1940, the Czecho-Slovak State Council was formed in London, with Benes as President.  In 1941, the British acknowledged this council as the Provisional Government of Czechoslovakia.

Emil Hacha on the air with a broadcast suited to Nazi tastes.

A few hours later President Hacha, seemingly in good health, appeared at Castle Lana and gloomily broadcast: "Any further sacrifice for the Czech Nation serves no purpose.
