Military Deployment of Czechoslovak Ground Forces in France in 1940
Original language description
The article deals with the topic of so called Second Czechoslovak Resistance Movement, namely with the existence of the 1st Czechoslovak Infantry Division (1. československá pěší divize) that was formed in France in 1940 under authority of Czech and Slovak nations “Czechoslovak National Committee” (Československý národní výbor). The division itself was established in January 1940 and five months later, in June 1940, was deployed in battlefield eastern and southern of Paris. Since the military situation of France became disastrous after Germans commenced their Case Red (Fall Rot), the division underwent combat of retreat especially during the battles of Coulommier and Gien. Despite unfavourable circumstances, its struggle represents the first major military deployment of Czechoslovak ground forces during the Second World War and as such is commemorated in present-day military tradition of Army of Czech Republic (Memorable Days of Ministry of Defence of Czech Republic).
