K a l a l was captain of the Tyrolean Protective Regiment in the k.u.k. Army. During the World War he worked in the Austrian General Staff. After the overthrow, he was transferred to the Czech General Staff as a major. K. did not stand out in political terms. After the establishment of the Protectorate, he should become chairman of the "Association of Front Fighters", who is in favour of cooperation with the Germans, and also assume a leading position within the Czech Front Fighter Associations. However, at that time K. explained that one had to show great restraint and that when his top position in an association that wanted to work with the Germans became known to the public, his wife could not even dare to go shopping with her Greisler wife. He was then expelled from the front-struggle, and he was also deprived of the full power to negotiate with the other soldiers' associations.
