Summary/Abstract: A baker by trade, Pavel Hron joined the Communist Party in the 1930s but only became very active in politics after the end of WWII and via various posts at local level worked his way up to high politics. He was a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia, the Chamber of the People of the Federal Assembly, the Kolder Commission and the National Assembly, as well as serving for many years as chairman of the party’s Central Control and Inspection Committee. It is surprising that the life story of this relatively important politician has not previously been examined in detail.
