The participation of the Slovak Army in the campaign against the Soviet Union. Romanian perceptions 

Journal Title: Codrul Cosminului - Year 2016, Vol 22, Issue 1

Abstract

In this study we focused our attention on some less known aspects in the Romanian historiography. We considered a summary analysis of Slovakia's participation in the 1941 war against the Soviet Union from multiple perspectives. In the first part, we analyzed the relationship between Slovakia and the Third Reich. Considering the role that Germany accorded to Slovakia in this war, we defined the goals of involvement in the anti-Soviet war. A second aspect concerns the relations between Slovakia and Hungary, as they were reflected in the political action, the military engagement, and the propaganda around these issues, made by Bratislava. Therefore, we partially detailed the Slovakia’s military contribution to the campaign against the Soviet Union in 1941. Finally, we underlined details relative to Slovakia's relationship with Romania, which, at that time, defined the common objectives of participation in war, setting convergences and divergences between them.
