The year 1943 is generally considered to be a significant milestone in the history of the World War II. Events occurred in 1943 had a worldwide impact. Defeats of the Axis forces at the Eastern Front left a remarkable trail on the pro-Nazi regime in Slovakia as well. The paper analyzes how the Hlinka Guard, an influential political organization and a symbol of deep Nazi collaboration, coped with this new situation. The author sketches its ambitions in the political field which included continuing calls for the Final Solution of the Jewish question, conflicts with the Hlinka´s Slovak People´s Party and also internal disputes of the Hlinka Guard´s representatives about future direction of the organization. As he notices, in 1943, depending on attitudes of the guardsmen towards the political situation in Slovakia and abroad, three informal cliques were formed within the HG. The first group subsuming most of the grass-roots rather withdrew from politics. The rest two led by the head commander Alexander Mach and his rival Otomar Kubala had been fighting for power, trying to attract also the guardsmen who, disappointed and “betrayed”, sooner quit with their involvement in the HG. However, none of them achieved a notable success and thus a deadlock persisted until August 1944 when the Slovak National Uprising broke out and the HG underwent a total transformation.

Partisan movement in Slovak historiography in 1949 – 1963 is represented by works and collections of the 50´s and the beginning of the 60´s. Numerous works and collections by various authors are characterized by deformed explanation of the Partisan movement and its glorification. The dominant is its uncritical praising as the main armed forces of the revolt and SNP. Given problem was misused for political goals and it reflected interest and ideology of political party. The Communist Party defines itself as the most important political revolt power. This period was typical for deformations and falsifying of history. Commencing marxistic historical science that adopted attituted of politicians towards the problem had the main word. That is the reason why they could not be in contrast with political line. At the same time, it was the period of political persecutions and processes that also concerned many partisans and partisan commander.

Foreign trade represented highly important role in the Slovak economy in the years 1939 – 1945. Ironically, when compared with the present days, where we face problems with passive trade balance, Slovakia had to cope with danger of unlimited export abroad. Majority of Slovak products found their place within the empty European markets with no major difficulties. Since, for Slovakia, foreign trade represented very important factor, at the very beginning of the state was passed the act which continued the trade treaties of the former Czechoslovak Republic. By passing the Act No. 2/1939 the first Slovak Republic also accepted all trade treaties which had been signed by the Czechoslovak Republic and other states. Doing so, the new state clearly declared rules of the foreign trade policy at its very beginning. The Slovak Republic also continued in trade relationship with Balcan region. Before the German attack of Yugoslavia, the Slovak Republic signed trade treaty with Yugoslavia. Business meetings took place in July 1940 in Belgrade. After division of Yugoslavia commenced foreign trading with the independent Croatia. Once the trade treaty was signed in October 1941 a clearing payment was introduced. Goods exchange was slow and unreliable mainly from Croatian part. Payments between both states were realised through special accounts „A“ and „B“ at the Croatian State Bank in Zagreb and at the Slovak Mortgage and Communal Bank in Bratislava and corresponding accounts at the Slovak National Bank in Bratislava. Using the account „A“ were realised payments for goods, transport and other expenses connected with goods exchange. Using the account „B“ were realised payments to diplomatic representatives. This account was also used for transferring savings of the Croatian citizens in Slovakia and the Slovak citizens in Croatia. However, foreign trade between the countries was not very intense, and despite of certain broadening of goods exchange in 1942 trade relationships were kept in minor volume until as late as the WW II.
