MOTORIZÁCIA JEDNOTIEK ARMÁDNEHO VELITEĽSTVA V LETE 1944

The image of the Slovak Army in 1939-1945 is usually associated with insufficient motorisation. However, not enough attention has been paid to this issue so far. The Army Headquarters and its activities in 1944 is a convenient subject for a probe into the motorisation of the Slovak Army. That year, both the material struggles and the modernization efforts of the Army, deepened by the formation of field units of the Army Headquarters for defending the borders against the advancing front, were fully manifested. Another level in the processing of this issue is the fact that the Army Headquarters units were envisaged in both conceptions of armed conduct against Nazi Germany.
