Life in German Occupied Poland - The General Government (1939 - 1945)

The German invasion of Poland started on the 1st of September 1939. World War 2 in Poland had begun. Soon the Soviets invaded Poland from the east. The Second Polish Republic was carved up. Eastern Poland (the Kresy) was annexed by the Soviet Union. The western territories were annexed by Nazi Germany and named Danzig-West Prussia and Wartheland. Central Poland became known as the General Government (also known as the General Governorate for occupied Poland). The capital of the General Government was Krakow and the nazi ruler became Hans Frank. He was married to Brigitte Herbst and she called herself the Queen of Poland. Under his command countless Poles were executed. During these so-called Intelligentsia action (Intelligenzaktion) and Operation Tannenberg tens of thousands of Poles were killed in mass executions. The Palmiry massacre is one of many examples. Jews were segregated in Jewish ghettos. When the Red Army marched into Poland the Armia Krajowa (Home Army) staged the Warsaw Uprising (1944) which was brutally crushed by the nazi's while the soviets did nothing. After the war, at the Nuremberg trials, Hans Frank was executed because of war crimes and crimes against humanity. Lean more about the Second World War in Poland.
