Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Slovak National Uprising of 1944 is ignored and/or treated as a non-event in the Western historiography of World War II. The political climate during World War II and the Cold War that followed obscured and distorted the history and understanding of this revolt. The raising of the Iron Curtain in the 1990s removed the veil of secrecy from much of Eastern Europe's wartime history, and Western historians are exploring the new resources available, but coverage of Slovakia's story and uprising remains very limited. This work aims to fill some of the void. Fully understanding the uprising requires an analysis of a number of different viewpoints in order to avoid capture by the political views of the parties involved: the Slovaks, the Germans, or the Soviets. Each group had different plans and goals: the Slovaks found themselves precariously between the Allies and Germany, the Germans fought to maintain their strategic position in central Europe while the Soviets hoped to expand their influence through eastern and central Europe. Each group naturally interpreted events differently and acted accordingly. Ultimately the Germans crushed the Slovak rebellion. Events surrounding the uprising remain cloudy to this day. The Slovaks won only short-term political gains, but their Jewish and ethnic German populations paid a heavy price. The Germans won their last significant victory in the war and maintained their presence in Slovak territory until the very end. The Soviet Union suffered significant casualties, but saw Communist influence increase in the region. Recriminations swirl around the lack of Allied support and the duplicity of Stalin. Western historians have excluded coverage of the uprising in part to avoid embarrassment. Significantly, the Slovaks remain at odds among themselves about the importance and the meaning of the uprising.

Book excerpt: This book deals with the Slovak National Uprising (SNP) that was launched on 29 August 1944 in Banská Bystrica, Slovakia. In the West, the uprising is an under-researched topic in the history of WWII. The Slovak state was an ally of Nazi Germany, but the uprising proved that the population did not share the regime's ideology.

Book excerpt: A Breaking of Seals is the story of a quest - the quest to discover one of the most extraordinary and least remembered events of the Second World War. This was the participation in the Slovak Uprising of 1944 of the French soldiers who escaped from prisoner-of-war camps in Germany, Hungary and Slovakia. Under the leadership of Captain Georges de Lannurien, they formed a Detachement francais de combatants de la Tschecoslovaquie which fought beside the Slovak Army during the Uprising and which later stood side by side with Slovak partisans as part of the Stefanik Brigade.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Slovakia split from Czechoslovakia and formed its own state on March 14, 1939. The Slovak State was born under the auspices of Hitler's Third Reich and became its first ally on September 1, 1939, when it took part in the invasion of Poland. The Slovak army inherited its weapons, equipment, training manuals and its doctrine from the defunct Czechoslovak Army. Though hampered by a shortage of specialists in its air force, armored units and artillery, it managed to field several division-sized units and sustain them during the initial three years of combat on the Eastern front. Its Mobile division fought its way all the way from the Carpathian Mountains to the Caucasus. In the last years of the war, the Slovak people became more and more disillusioned with the war and with their own semi-fascist government. These feelings led to mounting desertions in the fighting units, and culminated in the Slovak National Uprising in August 1944. Though the uprising was liquidated after two months of bitter fighting, it gave the Slovak nation the right to join the victorious allies and be accepted back into the restored Czechoslovakia. Though the Slovak army was by far the smallest of the armies of Germany's allies on the Eastern front, it was part of this grandiose "clash of titans" and deserves thus a place in the history of the Second World War. This book describes in detail the composition, dislocation and equipment of all branches of the Slovak army (infantry, artillery, armored and air force) and its operational history through the war years.

Book excerpt: From the bloody Russian front to a military uprising and a Communist putsch, "In the Shadow of Tyranny" takes the reader through two of the greatest tragedies of the twentieth century. This epic and harrowing Holocaust thriller has all the elements of a timeless story: intrigue; espionage; war; racism; genocide; political tyranny; romance; imprisonment; daring escapes; and freedom. The author also dares to tackle some of the most controversial issues relative to these two tragedies: the origins of the Nazi and Communist movements; the history and etiology of modern anti-Semitism; the Russian Revolution and civil war; the "Jewish Question" in Slovakia; the Soviet Union's role in the Slovak National Uprising; the 1948 Communist putsch in Czechoslovakia; and war crimes trials and amnesty. In closing out this sweeping, landmark magnum opus, the reader is left with a provocative examination of how humanity in all its progressive modernity could have produced such enormous tragedies, and the timeless lessons, thereof.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Problems of the partisan movement represent a very significant question in the history of World War II. We find partisan warfare, which is the highest form of the people's struggle for freedom, even in those countries which did not have even the slightest tradition of this method of warfare. This also applies to the territory of Czechoslovakia. Partisan activity in Slovakia was greatly expanded and directly connected with the origins and the process of the Slovak national uprising. This subject is treated in Samo Faltan's book Partisans in Slovakia which is now in the hands of the Czech reader in a very handsome edition subsequent to the publication of the Slovak edition Partisan Warfare in Slovakia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Positioning the Second World War as a pivotal juncture in modern Slovak history, this study argues that the emergence of a Nazi-Allied Slovak State (1939-1945) and the 1944 rebellion launched to overthrow it (known as the Slovak National Uprising [SNU]) were episodes critical to the formation of collective sociopolitical ideals in postwar Slovakia. Under-explored and inadequately understood in Anglo-American scholarship, the Slovak State and the SNU represent uniquely Slovak responses to the major societal ruptures induced by geopolitical fragmentation and war, first following the Munich Agreement of 1938, and then the collapse of German hegemony in Europe in late 1944. Since 1945, these events and their putative legacies have become divisive and heavily mediated constructs, deployed to advance particular political agendas, as well as to challenge or reaffirm existing arrangements of power. Furthermore, because they imply discrete articulations of Slovak state- and nationhood, the State and the SNU have come to support opposing positions in contemporary debates over Slovakia's political future. This research also illuminates some of the ways in which the war initiated transformations in demography, economy, and social practices in Slovakia. More broadly, it suggests that the uses of wartime history in today's East-Central Europe remain both manifold and insufficiently researched." --
