The memoir literature can be used as a basic historical source besides the archival documents. Even combats of the final phase of the World War II in South-Western Slovakia can use some of such books. There are two main groups of authors: German Generals (Heinz Guderian, Johannes Frieβner, Hermann Balck) were more or less responsible for leading German military operations in this area. They offer their point of view, seen from their staff-offices, focusing on operational problems, sometimes justifying their own decisions that might have shown themselves wrong. The other group of authors (H. Schmidt, E.-N. von Diest-Körber, K. Volleth, F. Hirschfelder) consist of minor officers and common soldiers. They report of their experiences much more common way, recording their everyday problems, fears, opinions. Thus they enable us to see them not only as members of a certain army, but also as humans.

The research focused on the events happening in the Protective Zone in 1939 ˗ 1945. The author draws from analysing the works already published as well as information available in the various Slovak archives. The research presents the following conclusions. Since March 1939, due to the Protective Zone location, the civilians were getting into wider contact with the German Armed Forces. In addition to the common military activities carried out by any army, the lively encounter was taking place even in the sports or cultural area. The drawback of the stay of the German Armed Forces included the recurring issues caused by the indecent behaviour of the German soldiers. The research results open certain new questions related to the history of Záhorie as well as the nature of the stay of the German Armed Forces in the Protective Zone. Further research is needed to provide new and deeper answers.
