Josef Šnejdárek (2 April 1875 in Napajedla – 13 May 1945 in Casablanca) was a Czech soldier. He served 43 years in the French Foreign Legion and later was a military officer for Czechoslovakia. He saw service in World War I, the Poland–Czechoslovakia war over Cieszyn Silesia and in the war with the Hungarian Soviet Republic over territories in today's Slovakia. == Early life and French Foreign Legion == Šnejdárek was born into a miller's family. After graduating from the cadet school he entered the Austro-Hungarian Army and served in Budapest and Innsbruck. He left the Austro-Hungarian Army and joined the French Foreign Legion. During his service there he took a part in North African battles. In World War I Šnejdárek fought on the Western Front, was wounded several times and awarded. He served then in the Czechoslovak Legion in France. In 1919 Šnejdárek returned to Czechoslovakia (as a French citizen). He became the commander of Czechoslovak forces operating in Cieszyn Silesia and led his forces in a short conflict with Poland. He later became the divisional commander in battles against the Hungarian Soviet Republic in nowadays Slovakia, where he was victorious in the battle of Zvolen. It was not until 1927 that Šnejdárek formally left the French Army and joined the Czechoslovak Army. According to his memoirs, he never lost - neither battle nor duel, of which he had scores. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Josef Šnejdárek」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
