The article presents the fate of Michal Ďurkaj, who actively fought against the German Armed Forces in 1940 and 1944-1945 in the Czechoslovak Foreign Resistance in France and Great Britain during the World War 2. After the end of the War, he participated in the formation and training of specialized aerial reconnaissance units and intelligence airdrops. He was politically persecuted in the 1950s, dismissed from the army, and rehabilitated in 1968.

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 author of the scientific study chose the as yet sparsely processed issue of the post-war renewal of one of the specific units of military reporting service. This unit performed several important tasks not only in terms of reporting service. The author of the study has retrieved this spectrum successfully. He evaluates not only the priority tasks but also points out to the additional spectrum of partial tasks of the Czechoslovak military diplomats. The author managed to capture the complexity of domestic relations as well as the situation inside the military reporting service Headquarters. The focus of the topic is set in the period immediately after the end of the World War 2 and the gradually escalating fight for the political power in Czechoslovakia. This has reflected negatively not only in the process of building the military reporting service under the new conditions but in its other units as well. The 2nd Department of the Headquarters (military intelligence) had the greatest problems. These issues were reflected in the construction of the network of the Military Diplomat Offices – Attachés. The negative consequences also reflected in the deployment of missions and in operations of the exposed military officers. The author used predominantly the archival sources of the Security Services Archive (ABS) and its as yet unprocessed fund. The author has verified the documents and confronted them with the achieved level of scientific knowledge. The period in focus is constantly in attention of the lay and professional public. In particular, the military reporting community keeps experiencing the impacts of the insufficient processing of its history.
