Norwester Posted 21 October , 2020 Share Posted 21 October , 2020 (edited) Did the Austro-Hungarian military attract any foreign volunteers during WW1? If so, I'd be curious to know anything about them. By "foreign" here I mean people who were not subjects of Austria-Hungary (so expats returning from abroad doesn't count for me). Józef Piłsudksi is the only example I'm aware of, since as far as I know he was born a Russian subject and never became an Austro-Hungarian national (someone please correct me if I'm wrong).

Norwester Posted 21 October , 2020 Author Share Posted 21 October , 2020 Where to start- the question of "nationality" in A-H is a seriously large one. With the break-up of the Empire in 1918, then many Czechs,Poles, Slovaks, Ruthenes,etc found themselves citizens of new states That's irrelevant to my question though. I'm asking about people who, during 1914-1918, were not subjects of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
