 Author focuses in the published study on the history of the Military Museum in Bratislava in years 1939 - 1945. Author claims that the museum was founded in late 1939 on the initiative of the Minister of National Defence, General Ferdinand Čatloš. Initially, the Military Museum housed in the building of the Ministry of Defence no. 1 in Bratislava, in August 1941 it was moved to “cavalry barracks“ in Tehelné pole, also in Bratislava. The manager of the Museum was 31 May 1941 appointed Staff Sergeant Ľudovít Vykysalý. Author emphasizes that the Museum was struggling, throughout its existence, with shortages of personnel and material. The problem with his presentation activity was also excessive highlighting of propaganda, thus the alliance with Nazi Germany. In the years 1944 – 1945 military museum collections were evacuated, and their fate at the end of the World War II remains relatively unclear.
