Events

At the end of June 1940, the German envoy in Bratislava, Hans Bernard , commented on the reason for the "negotiations" in Salzburg as follows:

"The time has now come to make it clear, again with regard to the Southeast European states, that Slovakia is in our living space, that is, that our wishes alone are decisive."

Ferdinand Ďurčanský , who until then was both interior and foreign minister of the Slovak state and advocated a foreign policy as independent as possible from the German Reich , was appointed by the two Nazi-minded, pro-German politicians, Alexander Mach for the interior and Vojtech Tuka for the foreign ministry , replaced. In addition , František Galan, who was appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Hlinka Guard by President Jozef Tiso on May 21, 1940, had to resign and return his position to Alexander Mach.

In addition, Hitler demanded that the Slovak politicians adapt their anti-Jewish legislation to that of the Third Reich. The former SA leader Manfred von Killinger was appointed envoy in Bratislava . This stated:

“I am willing and will manage to lead Slovakia in such a way that it is economically 100 percent available to us in the war and that it is politically managed in such a way that there can be no doubt that it will not march into shape during the war . "
