Karel VI Schwarzenberg, 6th prince of Schwarzenberg (5 July 1911 – 9 April 1986) was a Czech aristocrat, politician, writer and resistance fighter during World War II.[1]
Karel VI was a member of the Czech fascist politicial party Vlajka, but was not a fascist. He sympathized with monarchism with elements of fascism[clarification needed] over the years, however, rather only with monarchism[clarification needed]. He also owned many properties in South Bohemia such Orlík Castle and Čimelice. He was popular among the poor people, but he had enemies in the ranks of the Czechoslovak government and also the German elites of Nazi Germany because of his pro-Czech and anti-Nazi policy.[2][1]
His son Karel Schwarzenberg was influential politician in post-communist Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic.[2]
