Article deals with the political comeback of Vojtech Tuka, Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of the first Slovak Republic (1939 - 1945). He was a controversial person, a controversial politician of the Slovak history. In 1929 he was sentenced to fifteen years imprisonment for espionage on behalf of the Hungarian government and high treason. After Slovakia became autonomous in 1938, he was released from prison and returned to Slovakia. At the beginning he refused to be a part of the Slovak politics but soon after he reconsidered his point of view.

The study deals with the topic of the guard of honour of President Jozef Tiso. On a relatively large space, the author describes the circumstances of the origin of this Army unit and provides information on its functioning in 1939 – 1940. The author states that Jozef Tiso’s guard of honour was supposed to fulfil two tasks, in particular the ultimate guard and security service at the seat of the head of the state and the task of the honorary unit with special mandate for welcoming important personalities. The military guard of honour should have symbolised the position of Jozef Tiso as the head of the Slovak state and as the commander in chief of the Slovak military power. Did the military Guard of Honour fulfil this mission in the first months of its existence? There are no doubts that it did, outwardly, since the public accepted it. However, it remains a question whether it symbolised and represented the Slovak Army itself. The military Guard of Honour was a selective rather than a professional unit, therefore to a certain extent. It copied the common infantry divisions it was dependent on, including their maladies. The author states that the uncertainties around the origin, inclusion into the military organism, the name and unsuccessful steps in filling the commander posts do not indicate an exclusive and prestigious position inside the military organism.

In the study, the author deals with the position of J. Tiso as the Prime Minister as well as the creation of his position as the highest military commander at the time when the institutions of the newly originated Slovak Republic were constituted and their mutual relationships still were not exactly determined. The author states that during this constitutional provisional arrangement already, the function of the head of the state was personified in the personality of the Prime Minister, Jozef Tiso. The author argues convincingly that from this point of view, Tiso was accepted also as the highest military commander even prior to the adoption of the Constitution. In this context, he observes his interventions in the matters of national defence, building, personal structure and operation of the army. Logically, the greatest attention is paid to Tiso’s relationship to the Minister of National Defence, gen. Čatloš. The author states here that Tiso did not profile himself in the function of the highest commander of the Slovak military power, which was expressed in his dependence on Čatloš. According to the author, he often proceeded autonomously and had his decisions approved by the government retroactively.
