The first part of the study focuses on clarifying the strategic and operational importance of Austria as an auxiliary area of interest for Czechoslovak Military Intelligence since the late 1950s until the first half of the 1970s. It also points to its military aspect within the plans of the Warsaw Pact for the preparation of military aggression to the area of Germany and France, which were crucial not only for the operation of the ČSĽA as an independent front, but also for the activities of military intelligence. The study also deals with the issues in terms of „illegals“ in Austria after acquiring independence. It elaborates on the various main and auxiliary objects of interest that the agency network had to monitor on an ongoing basis.
