On the onset of the German occupation of Czechoslovakia, Kobzík left the country. He joined the French Foreign Legion and was trained in Sidi Bel Abbès. After the defeat of France to Nazi Germany, he was evacuated to England, where he joined the Czechoslovak Army in exile. In Scotland, Kobzík underwent a parachutist training. On the night of 12-13 April 1944, he parachuted near Vacenovice in Moravian Slovakia. Together with his companion, Kobzík managed to move to the village of Rudice. On 7 May, a local person notified Protectorate authorities about their presence. Being surrounded by the police, Kobzík with his companion committed suicide.[3][4]
