Kubala studied at a teacher institution in
Modra from 1920 to 1924 and then worked as a teacher and principal for 10 years. Kubala joined the Hlinka Guard in November 1938, and was later the local commander in 1939. He was already publishing articles with
fascist ideals in the
Gardista newspaper in the 1930s and in 1941 became the editor-in-chief of the Gardista newspaper.
Death Due to the
Red Army's gradual advance on Slovakia, Kubala organized a retreat of remaining Slovak units and withdrew to southern
Bohemia, where he surrendered to
American forces at
Strakonice. He then was extradited to Czechoslovak authorities, sentenced to
death by firing squad for
crimes against humanity, and executed as a war criminal. ==References==
