Rodobrana

The Rodobrana ( German : "Vaterlandswehr") was the paramilitary association of the Ludaks from 1923 to 1927 . The organization was founded in Czechoslovakia by Vojtech Tuka and dissolved in 1927 by order of the authorities. The Tuka blindly devoted Rodobrana, like the fascist black shirts and the National Socialist SA, was supposed to "ensure calm at the party meetings". After their dissolution, the members continued their work in other party organizations. The Rodobrana was a forerunner of the Hlinka Guard .

On December 13, 1939, the Rodobrana was reorganized as the personal unit of the Commander-in-Chief of the Hlinka Guard. The commander in chief of the Rodobrana was again Vojtech Tuka.
