TO THE CZECHOSLOVAK OR THE AUSTRALIAN ARMY? AN UNKNOWN CHAPTER OF CZECHOSLOVAK-AUSTRALIAN RELATIONS DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR
Original language description
The present paper focuses on the Czechoslovak compatriots acitvities in Australia during the Second World War. Drawing on research in Czech (Prague), Slovak (Bratislava) and Australian (Canberra, Sydney) archives, it analyses to what extent the Czechoslovak people participated in the support of the Czechoslovak foreign resistance movement, including the (un)successful recruitment for the Czechoslovak military unit in the Middle East between 1940 and 1941 organised in Austalia by Czechsolovak vice-konsul Dr. Adolf Solanský (1892-1968). The second part of the study aims to outline the wartime life-stories of three Czechoslovak volunteers, who in 1941 sailed off to the Middle East. The Czech Václav Čapek (1915-1944) who did not survive the war, the Slovak Milan Gašinec (1922-1951) and the Czechoslovak Jew – Felix Israel Süssland / Sládek (1898-?), who was an officer of the CS Army and – apart from the consul – wasthe main promoter of Australian recruitment efforts.
