Summary/Abstract: Ladislav Nižňanský was a Czechoslovak and Slovak soldier, a member of the Czechoslovak Army. After that he fought in the army of the Slovak State, with insurgents during the Slovak National Uprising and after it was crushed, he joined the German special anti-partisan troops, for which he was repeatedly prosecuted after the war. Ladislav Nižňanský’s case is not just an ordinary war crime, one of many which have not been solved until today. It is also an interesting example of the influence of political interests during the Cold War, or a long, complicated and futile pursuit of justice.
