?Eti ljudi idut na kazn??. Istorija roty ?Nazdar?
Original language description
Before the First World War, the Czech community in France was about 2,000 persons. Most of them lived in Paris. Most of the Czechs kept their Austrian citizenship and thus after the war?s outbreak, they were considered enemy aliens. At the same time Czechs demonstrated negative attitudes towards the Habsburg Monarchy, and some 300 volunteers expressed willingness to enlist in French army. After training in Bayonne in southwest France, in October 1914 they became a part of the first batallion of the French Foreign Legion. Thanks to their use of the greeting, Nazdar (Hello), they became known as company Nazdar. The company suffered serious losses and ceased to exist in 1915. This article analyzes conditions in Frances Czech community at the outbreak of the war, the Czech motivations for enlisting the French Army and the history of the company Nazdar.
