Czechoslovakian 1940s Soldier

Czechoslovak soldiers experienced the Second World War through occupation, exile, resistance, and service with Allied forces. After the dismemberment and occupation of their country, Czech and Slovak personnel fought in formations organized abroad, including units in Britain and the Soviet Union. Others participated in domestic resistance and the Slovak National Uprising. Uniforms therefore varied sharply with theater and affiliation. A general 1940s figure should not be assigned to a single homogeneous wartime Czechoslovak army without examining the uniform and weapons represented. Czechoslovak troops participated in the defense of France and later fought on both western and eastern fronts. The exile experience brought British and Soviet equipment into different formations. Their service embodied the effort to restore a state whose prewar army had been prevented from resisting the occupation as a unified force.
