1939
The
remnant of Czechoslovakia was destroyed in 1939. Slovakia became independent and
the Czech state was occupied and transferred into the “Protectorate of Bohemia
and Moravia”. In name it still had a government of its own. Poland
was also
attacked in that year and World War Two began. Poland
was split up between
Germany, the Soviet Union and Lithuania. Large parts of Poland
were incorporated
into Germany to facilitate more “Lebensraum” for the German people. The
annexations went beyond the territories lost in 1919. In the rest a “General
Government of Warsaw” was erected.
