Na Dálném východě pod československou vlajkou. Naše jednotka v rámci Šanghajského dobrovolnického sboru 1940–1941
At the Far East under the Czechoslovak Flag. Our Unit in the Shanghai Volunteer Corps in 1940–1941

Summary/Abstract: Czechoslovak citizens or expatriates served in almost all the allied armies during World War Two. However, it was hardly anywhere that they were allowed to have their own unit and use the national symbols. One of these exceptions was the Shanghai Volunteer Corps (SVC), which provided security for the “settlement”, i.e. the area of the former British and American “concession” in the town centre under international administration. Although at first glance this might seem to be nothing more than an exotic episode, the existence of the Czechoslovak unit in China is an inseparable part of the history of our foreign resistance.
