Welcome to the pages of the Internet exhibition on women who voluntarily served and fought in foreign military units during the Second World War in the Soviet Union, England, Yugoslavia and in the Middle East.

Our main aim has been to create a documentary record that will be useful for the needs of education and also historical research and other scientific purposes. We believe that history ought to be a public matter and so this documentary has been made as a non-profit venture and is freely accessible. We hope that the exhibition lives up to our aims.

We would be delighted if you decided to use the text presented here for scholarly, journalistic or educational purposes. Please respect authorial and reproduction rights and acknowledge our work in full whenever you use it. And please inform us when you use the text or photographs. We would also ask that in your future use of the material you respect the memory of the women to whom this exhibition is devoted.

We would like to cordially thank our sponsors for financially supporting this project. Our thanks are due above all to the Ministry of Defence of the Czech Republic, CZ LOKO inc., The Ludvík Svoboda Society, and the Grant Fund of the Dean of the Faculty of Arts, Masaryk University, Brno.

Mgr. Alena Vitáková amd Miroslav Klusák
