no they were austians solders that deserted or surrendered. franch didn't have tens of thousands of czech troops just hanging around that for some reason wanted to go fight commies in russia. austro hungary was such a fun little dysfunctional multicultural shithole. it had to send all the slavs to fight in italy while sending its german and italian troops to go fight in far off russia just to keep its armies from deserting to the enemy.
