The study presents entirely new findings connected with the united student organization created on the basis of legislation in May 1942. The facts are presented in a logical way in an effort to deal with the origin and activity of the organization, which was formed in the disturbed period of the war. While researching his dissertation, the author discovered new facts, which have not been presented to such an extent by previous historians. These new findings were obtained mainly from the detailed study of student periodicals published in the period 1942 – 1945, and from the detailed archive research. Therefore, the study presents new materials from the historical research on a period so much studied by several generations of the trained professions and ordinary lay people.
It was exactly seventy years ago when the art and literature monthly Elán, a project shared by poet and editor Ján Smrek and publisher Leopold Mazáč, was moved to the wartime capital of Slovakia. Although originally its establishing and existence were closely related to Prague, signing the contract with the Slovak Writers´ Society on 29 September 1939 made it possible to transfer the magazine to Bratislava, where it was then published until its end in 1947. The goal of the paper is to present the basic yet little known facts about the wartime period of publishing the magazine and to show to what extent the new economic situation as well as the new geopolitical and social context affected its character. The study primarily builds on researching archive materials, Elán´s wartime issues and selected contemporary print media. It is a follow-up to the study Deviatka osudová pre Elán i jeho redaktora /The Nine Fateful for Both the Magazine and Its Editor/, dealing with the circumstances of transferring the magazine to Bratislava, published in Slovenská literatúra in 2010.
