The issue of the relationship between the health care and army has not been complexly processed in the Slovak military historiography so far. As yet, there are only partial probes concerning the selected issues, military health care facilities or personalities actively affecting this interaction. In the Military Historical Archive in Bratislava, in the collections of the Ministry of National Defence (hereinafter referred to as MND) Ordinary and MND Confidential, there are two documents regarding the aforementioned topic. The first document is a report on the health condition of the Fast Division (FD) units on the eastern front for the first quarter of 1942. It was drawn up by the superintendent of the FD health administration at the time when this unit was holding the defensive positions on the Mius river, taken in December of the previous year. The document’s value consists mainly in the characteristics of the most frequent diseases of the FD members, which in a number of cases related to the stay in the field conditions, poor hygiene, bad accommodation, etc. The second document was created by the superintendent of the Security Division’s (SD) health administration on the 27 May 1942, discussing the issue of establishment of the field brothels and the incidence of venereal diseases in its units (for the period from January to April 1942). It is apparent from the superintendent’s statement that the issue of brothels had occurred before but it is categorically rejected in this document. The second document has already been quoted in Oldřich Pejsa’s monograph: Slovak Military Clergy. The author subjected both documents to historical review, using the notes and explanatory notes.
