"After the Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia and the subsequent establishment of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, Batlicka became a member of the Obrana Národa; as a radio operator he communicated with Moscow. At the same time, he started writing semi-autobiographical adventure stories for young people for the magazine Mladý hlasatel (English: Young Announcer), based on his travels. He wrote more than 150 stories. In his stories, he described his experiences, which he supplemented with stories of people he met.
He was arrested by the gestapo on 14 October 1941, interrogated in the Petschek Palace, and transferred to the Theresienstadt concentration camp, eventually ending in the Mauthausen-Gusen concentration camp. He died there on 13 February 1942, probably being killed by Eduard Krebsbach. After the war, he was awarded the Czechoslovak War Cross 1939–1945 in memoriam."
