Abstracts

The documents published by the author plastically reflect on the stark pragmatism of the top military representatives of the CS London emigration on the so called Slovak Question in the CS Armed Forces in the spring of 1945. This ultimately defined the actions of its top political leaders in dealing with it. Its military-political context and the most important nuances associated there with were first attempted to be comprehensively formulated by the Chief of the Czechoslovak Military Mission in the USSR, General Heliodor Pika. His report on the necessity of a compromise solution to the issue in question was successively commented on by the Head of the Military Office of the President of the Republic, General Oldřich Španiel, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Czechoslovak Armed Forces, General Jan Sergej Ingr. The reactions of the acting Minister of National Defence and at the same time the acting Minister of Foreign Affairs, Jan Masaryk, were a synthesis thereof to a large extent.
