Vojenská história, 9, 1, 2005, pp. 41 — 55.

In the study the author analyses conditions of the origination and genesis of the SD development that had been formed by the SS since 1931, later as an independent organisation NSDAP. He follows its penetration to Slovakia where the SD started to build its positions already in autumn 1938. The German Security Service controlled its activity in Slovakia through the leading area in Vienna. The author points out also relations with other German intelligence bodies in Slovakia, German Embassy, military intelligence service Abwehr, Deutsche Partei, German police attaché in Slovakia Mr. F. Goltz etc. The author shows a blind and non-systematic co-operation of German intelligence bodies in Slovakia; double-track activity of SD in Slovakia that complicated its activity as well as building of the intelligence mechanism and agent network in the whole period.
