The Defeated in Victorious State: Veterans of the Austro-Hungarian Army in the Bohemian Lands and Their (Re)mobilization in the 1930s

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This article focuses on organized veterans whohad fought in the Habsburg army during World War One and their (re)mobilization in Czechoslovakia in the 1930s. While the state enabled “defeated” veterans to set up various associations that mirrored different interpretations of their war experiences, it was not willing to include them in its policy towards veterans, which gave preference to exsoldiers who had volunteered for the victorious pro-Entente armies. In the late 1930s, the state additionally recognized volunteers from the post-1918 borderland wars as a new group of veterans with special status. It also brought together Czech veterans from the Austro-Hungarian Army into a central organization as “reservists and ex-soldiers” of the Czechoslovak Army. No matter how diversified German veterans in the Bohemian lands were in practice, they were mistrusted by both the state and most Czech veterans. Hence, German veterans were eventually left open to political instrumentalization by the Sudeten German Party, which used them to gain support for its irredentist policy in 1938. This internal problem of Czechoslovak veterans’ politics became internationalized by the fascist-dominated Comit8 International Permanent (CIP), which sought to overcome the unequal treatment of Czech and German veterans by using the fascist myth of the frontline soldier as a shorthand for criticising Czechoslovak statehood.
