This article describes the detention in 1959 of the Czechoslovak ship Lidice, which was carrying weapons for the Algerian National Liberation Front, by the French Navy. Using documents from Czech archives, the study offers insights into this affair from two perspectives: first, that of the shipmaster and the officer for political affairs, who were aboard the ship during the detention, and second, that of the highest governmental and Communist Party authorities in Prague, which were concerned with the diplomatic and political aspects of the case.
