By presenting the most recent scholarship on the intense, although not turbulent, relations between Serbia on one side and Czechs and Slovaks on the other, this article aims to show how the unique experience of being on opposite sides during the First World War did not necessarily lead toward creation of animosities and controversies. On the contrary, it not only resulted in support, understanding and cooperation but also led to the creation of new and deepening of existing liaisons in the decades that followed the first global conflict.

The recruitment and military service of Carpathian Germans in the Waffen-SS during the Second World War is one of the still little researched questions in the history of this community in the 20th century Slovakia. More than 8,200 men enlisted in the armed units of the SS in three phases: illegally, quasi voluntarily and finally as obligatory military service. Not all of them enlisted on the basis of their actual personal convictions. Some men found themselves against their will in places where crimes against humanity were committed. The study is devoted to the recruitment mechanism and analyses the motivation of the men of the German minority to join the Waffen-SS. It also focuses on their service in some Waffen-SS units and in concentration camps. The last part does not avoid the question of criminal responsibility after 1945.

Colonial cities in the Africa of the twentieth century witnessed political and economic changes that aided infrastructural development. The First and Second World Wars also played significant roles in the social, political, and economic changes that occurred before the 1950s. Ibadan, a Yoruba city in south-west Nigeria, was greatly influenced by British colonialism. In the making of the city, several personalities contributed to its growth and development. Therefore, this paper examines the role of a World War veteran in the making of Ibadan city. The work analyses how one war veteran, Chief Thomas Adeogun Ojo (known as Ojo’Badan), contributed to social, political, and economic developments in colonial Ibadan. The work adopts the historical method by using the life and times of Ojo’Badan to explore changes in Ibadan city. Oral interviews, archival materials, books, and journals were used.

The author of the published material study tried to reconstruct the operation of German combat units from the Slovak airports in September 1939 against Poland and to partially clarify the share of Slovak fighters accompanying German bombers (under the command of colonel Schultheiss) based on the study of captured German documents, Fund 500, deposited in the Central Archive of the Ministry of Defence of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (Центральный архив Министерства обороны СССР, today's Центральный архив Министерства обороны Российской Федерации, abbreviation ЦАМО). These captured documents are being gradually digitalised within the joint project of the German Historical Institute in Moscow and the Central Archive of the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation, enabling the author to use them as the source for the study. The documents provide us with the missing pieces of the puzzle, so far only consisting of the documents preserved in the National Archives and Record Administration, Washington D. C. and Bundesarchiv/Militärarchiv in German Freiburg.
