The study addresses the specific topic of the Military Intelligence of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic (Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff of the Czechoslovak People´s Army - ČSĽA) during the so called Cold War. It focuses on each capabilities of the Military Intelligence built in the context of the tasks performed by the ČSĽA within the Warsaw Pact. Emphasis is put on the intelligence reconnaissance on operational level, intelligence reconnaissance on strategic level and their task in the individual areas of interests. These were located within a predictable area of a future war conflict. The study also focuses on the building of intelligence networks, legal and illegal residencies, the recruitment of assets, the building of contingency wartime intelligence networks, the deployment of reconnaissance assets against central and auxiliary objects of interests in the zone of frontline operations of the ČSĽA, the training of contingency assets units and the exploitation of illegal border crossings to the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany) and Austria for assets’ training. The emphasis of the study lies on the preparation of the Military Intelligence for a potential war conflict with a presumed adversary - NATO.

In the reviewed material, the three historians decided to publish an excerpt from the large and unpublished work of the former Czechoslovak intelligence officer, František Fárek. The paper deals with the development of Austrian or Austro-Hungarian military intelligence, while the author himself based his ideas on the works already published. The materials by František Fárek are written engagingly, with his drafting skills being also confirmed by the memorial work issued later, entitled Stopy mizí v archivu (The Traces Disappear in the Archive). In terms of composition, the paper consists of a broader introduction and the very transcription of the passage mentioned above. The percipient comes across the case of a text incorporated in the text, with some moments being duplicate in both parts.

In his study, the author analysed the as yet scarcely processed topic of the post-war renewal of one of the military intelligence units. The recovery conditions were complicated due to the specific historic reality following the end of the World War 2 and the consolidation of the spheres of influence of the victorious powers. The focus of the topic is incorporated into the gradually escalating fight for the political power in CSR. This has been negatively reflected in the process of building the military intelligence under the new conditions. The 2nd Department of the Headquarters (military intelligence) had the biggest problems. On the selected contemporary examples, the study is highlighting the broad range of issues in the recovery of the military intelligence and its functioning during early stages of the post-war CSR. A substantial part of the study is dedicated to the 2nd Department of the Headquarters, the focus of which in the period in question should have been similar as in the pre-Munich Republic. This means that it was focusing on obtaining, collecting and evaluating (analysing) the information important for state defence, unlike the military counterintelligence, which disposed of not only the intelligence service powers but also the powers of security authorities.

The study deals with the history of the 2nd Dept. of the General Headquarters (Military Intelligence) in 1946.The 2. Dept. of the General Headquarters underwent significant changes in 1946, with the resolute reduction of the number of employees becoming the most significant one. The study also provides more detail on the newly adopted directives concerning the work beyond the CSR borders, working with agency networks, building the network of conspiracy apartments or acquiring agency resources from persons about to leave the country or staying for a short term (Germans, Hungarians, Jews). The author pointed out to some representative cases from this period as well as the kind of findings the employees of the 2nd Dept. of the General Headquarters were interested in or comprising a significant part of the agenda.

The topic addressed in the scientific paper is captured based on extensive original archival research, yet unpublished. It focuses on the intricate period of the first half of the 1960s, when the Czechoslovak military intelligence had to build up agency networks in designated central and auxiliary areas of interest. Its operational agency reconnaissance had prioritized the “Central European Theatre of Operations,” where a military conflict with NATO was anticipated by the Warsaw Pact military strategists. In the period in question, the Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff of the Czechoslovak People’s Army started building its illegal residencies. Their operation was accompanied by numerous issues. Finally, the command of the Agency Section had to develop a new concept of operational agency reconnaissance according to the Soviet model.

The study is aimed at introducing the short, less than 5 years lasting existence of the 73rd Infantry. This is a unit existing from 1949 to 1954, which has been almost forgotten. The author describes the task of the Infantry, in particular to prepare a sufficient cadre of soldiers who were to be assigned the intelligence and preparatory tasks in the rear of the enemy troops after the outbreak of armed conflict in Europe. He also outlined its structure, pointing out to the complications and conflict of competencies between the intelligence and counterintelligence, which had a negative impact on the very functioning of the unit. In the first period, the soldiers were also suffering due to poor material equipment and the fact that the applicants for service could have been chosen only from among the trainees of exploratory courses may be considered as a great disadvantage of the unit. Later on, the unit was no longer subject only to the Intelligence Department of the General Staff and thereby its background, security and replenishment have improved. Even in spite of that, its members, including the commanders, were not able to meet the expectations and the soldiers, in some cases, had troubles with demonstrating basic skills. Probably due to poor results of inspections, the unit was cancelled in 1954. Later on, similar units were established within the Czechoslovak People’s Army. The study itself works only as a more comprehensive probe into the issue. Its incompleteness is obvious from the documentation studied, which is apparently caused by relatively extensive shredding of documents of the General Staff Intelligence Department during its whole existence as well as insufficient interest in the archival records of the former military intelligence after 1989.
