Re: Slovak Army 1939
I only have the Czechoslovakian mountain infantry organization of 1938.
Probably very similar, as the number of weapons in the rifle companies (12×LMG & 12×HMG) is the same.
Slovakia was under continued pressure in the time between the 1938 autonomy and 1939, and would have had no time for a major reorganization of the army, or even of small unit organization, which would have resulted in a completely new (re-)training schedule to conform to the German doctrine and organization.
Hope this helps
