Karol Sojček, member of the Slovak Air Force, to civil services within the Ministry of Interior of the SR in the period from June 1940 to July 1941, as well as his reactions to justifications of the personnel action ordered by the military commander. Contents of the documents selected provide information about the official causes as a result of which maj. Sojéek was removed from the office of the 2" Squadron leader and through personnel action was made available to the Ministry of Interior for a period of almost one year. At the same time, the text provides arguments of maj.
