This material deals with one of the accompanying phenomena of the post-war CS Army Command Corps staffing, which in the context of power struggle between the civilian and Communist forces underwent heavy politicization. In the case of the Army, confrontation was reflected in the fight for the form, character and political orientation of its senior command corps, with obvious gradual restriction of the influence of the commanders in favour of political entities and their nominees. In particular, this concerned the group of officers and generals holding the highest positions in the hierarchy of the Army organism. This process was closely reflected even at the nationality level of its composition, where the "Slovak issue" phenomenon in the renewed CS Army became even more pronounced. The submitted document vividly proves that the selection of the senior commander cadre of the strongest armed unit could not escape the attention of any of the political party leaders.

In the published article, the author addresses the beginnings of the military career of Michal Lokšík. According to the study, he came from a modest background of Slovaks living in Vienna. He studied at the cadet school in Innsbruck and Prague. As the officer of the 71st Infantry Regiment on the Russian front, he was awarded three honours in five months. On the13th September 1915, he fell captive and only returned in February 1918. In December, he joined the Czechoslovak Army and actively participated in the fights against the Hungarian Bolsheviks. After the battles at Kisterenye, with the remains of the 2nd battalion, he retreated and fought at Tornaľa where the regiment commander, Cpt. Stuchlík, fell. The regiment was reduced to a single battalion and Lokšík became its commander since 15th June 1919. Through the bypass manoeuvre at Rožňava, he contributed significantly to the defeat of the Bolshevik army, for which he was decorated with the CSL War Cross. Later, he was allocated under General Hennocque and served also as the personal aide of General Paris. Since 30 January, he worked at the intelligence department (2nd Bureau) of the District Military Headquarters for Sub-Carpathian Ruthenia. In spite of the requirements of the French military mission to be promoted to a Captain, he was relocated to the 29th regiment by an order. However, he never entered the service, returning to his home Vienna. As an Austrian citizen, wrongly recruited to the CSL Army, he was acquitted from the desertion charges by the court. Lokšík perceived the relocation to the Czech regiment as a plot of the legionary command, which was also the reason of his later political radicalisation. The author also states that there is a Czech translation of a letter from General Paris in Lokšík’s estate, with Lokšík’s own handwritten notes in German. The letter is enclosed as an attachment. The document is interesting also due to the fact that Lokšík did not write any memoirs about his abundant military intelligence activity and did not leave any private diary behind. The lesser known facts about the early days of Lokšík’s military career were not evaluated sufficiently even in the newer historical literature.

In his present study, the author deals with the case of criminal activities of two military deserters from the Czechoslovak Army. These were Ján Dulanský and Gašpar Peer, who, especially at the turn of 1920-1921, unsettled the surroundings of Bratislava (especially the villages in the Little Carpathians area) with their criminal activities. They committed approximately 34 thefts, burglaries, and robberies (including one homicide). At a hearing in July 1922, the Divisional Court in Bratislava sentenced them both to death by hanging, which was later adjusted to long imprisonment by way of pardon.
