Vojenská história, 18, 1, 2014, pp. 88-98.

In the text in guestion, the author drew his attention to the participation of tankers of the as- saultbattalionin thecampaignof theSlovakArmy againstPolandin September1939.The specific partial problem from the history of combat deployment of the Slovak Army troops in 1939 —1945 is evaluated as a symbolic participation. The quoted evaluation corresponds with the historical facts whereby the author presents the staffing of the assaultbattalion sent to battlefield, their equipment with combat arms and other materials or the tasks imposed on them in the field. The specific issue of participation of the assaultbattalion in the Slovak Army campaign against Poland is being solved within a broader context. L.e.,starting with mobilization or calling up reservists for special exercise in arms, through composition of the field army and tasks of its main forces (infantry units), establishment of the Mobile Group and characteristics of its tasks up to demobilization of the troops. When processing the topic, author relied on the knowledge obtained from the previously published works on the structure of Slovak Army in 1939 and its participation in the German Wehrmacht’s attack against Poland, as well as on his long-term archival research of the history of the assaultbattalion in the Slovak Army from 1939 —1945.
