In this study, the author deals with the formation of the German Beskids Corps in March 1915, commanded by General Georg von der Marwitz. The Corps was formed of three divisions: 4th Infantry Division, 25th Reserve Division, and 35th Reserve Division. At the turn of March and April 1915, the units of the Beskids Corps were transported to north-eastern Slovakia to support the divisions of the Austro-Hungarian Army fighting against the Russians in the Carpathian Mountains. The Beskids Corps took part in the significant Easter Battle in the Carpathians and, thanks mainly to the deployment of German divisions, managed to stop the Russian breakthrough into the Laborec valley. The author emphasises that the deployment of the Beskids Corps proved crucial for the Central Powers, which, after stabilising the front line in the Carpathian Mountains, were able to continue preparations for a strategic offensive operation in the Polish towns of Gorlice – Tarnów neighbourhood. The Germans operated in Slovakia until 8 May 1915 and participated in the liberation of the town of Medzilaborce.
