Czech soldier’s song from the time of the First World War

„Červený šátečku, kolem se toč, my jdeme na Rusa, nevíme proč!“
(“Little red handkerchief, wave through the sky, we fight the Russians and we don’t know why!”)

This Czech soldier’s song from the time of the First World War illustrates the divided attitude of the Czechs towards the military aims of the Habsburg Monarchy.
