The study deals with the history of the military-partisan troop-Brigade Kriváň. Initially, the author describes the pre-history of the brigade establishment, e.g. the dramatic events from the end of August 1944- the demilitarisation of the East-Slovak Army. (In spite of the fact the notion – East-Slovak Army is not well-known and used, since established by historians, it is nowadays often used well-comprehensible and acceptable). The work provides us with a good insight into small or larger troops located in the East of Slovakia. Moreover it is focused on the Kriváň-brigade. She extensively deals with various negotiations of the instigators of the uprising action in the East of Slovakia. However, she generally captures the drama character and complexity of the situation in which some of personnel did not stand well or failed to succeed. It was just in the confrontation of the indecisiveness of some of the senior officers the performance of lieutenant colonel Jozef Vogl, stot. del. Jozef Tabiš and other officers gathering their troops to establish military-partisan brigade Kriváň. There is also a particular focus on the contacts and cooperation with the partisan brigade Sergej, the relations between the partisans and citizens, problems with supplies etc.

Key words: Military History. Slovakia. WWII. Partisan troops. East Slovak Army.   Slovak National Uprising.
