Wartime

During the last four years, from 1940 - 1944, Liska was involuntarily drafted into the army as a front-line war reporter. As a “Feldwebel” in the Propaganda Company, he was immediately flown out directly to the front lines - to burning Calais, Leningrad, Stalingrad and many more. He gained critical acclaim even in allied press through his realistic and critical view on the war events.
