Přijímání do armády jako proces přidělování identity? Výslechy a prověřování německých zajatců českého původu / Admission to the army as a process of assigning identity? Interrogation and vetting of German prisoners of Czechoslovak origin

Abstract

This study considers the acceptance of former Wehrmacht soldiers as a multi-layered process, at the end of which stands the crediting of national identity. Having studied the military interrogation guidelines and records, the author explores the self-interpretation of prisoners, military requirements, and vetting of the candidates by Czechoslovak officers.
