The published material is an interesting contribution to the activity of the Brno-based Gestapo operating in Slovakia in 1939-1945. The author covers the activity of one of the most famous Gestapo informers, Viktor Ryšánek, whose anti-resistance activities extended, besides Bohemia and Moravia, repeatedly to Slovakia. Thanks to the historian J. Jablonicky, the account of Ryšánek s activities in the spring of 1944 have been preserved, when he tried unsuccessfully to infiltrate the military resistance in Slovakia, preparing an armed uprising. Moreover, the author presents RySanek’s hitherto unknown activities in RuZomberok, where, as a Moravian illegal worker, he was looking for ways to the infiltrate the local resistance workers. The author tracked down his activities in Slovakia already in 1942, gaining interesting information on the working methods of Gestapo informers. The heuristic basis of the study is mainly the author “s research in the Archives of the Security Forces in Prague.
