In the contribution the author deals with the issue to which only very little attention was paid in the modem Slovak history from various reasons. The contents of the education of the Slovak soldier in 1941 - 1943 was ethical or moral, enlightenment, national, spiritual and physical education in the  comprehensive form. The author analysed each part of education individually taking into regard its contribution to the fulfilment of the educational aim. Special attention of the author is paid to the religious education carried out by the military chaplains. However, also the cultural and educational activity in limited possibilities of its forms and means represented a significant part of the education. The assessment of the educational level of the Slovak soldier at the East front is based on statements of the prelacy and senior officers as well as on the available regulations, provisions and directions. The author pays appropriate attention to the selected methods, forms and means of the educational work in the field in the Slovak Army in 1941 - 1943. Non-commissioned officers, sergeant and officers corps were assigned to fulfil common educational aim.
