Koncepcje słowiańskie polskich ugrupowań nacjonalistycznych w okresie II wojny światowej

The period of the Second World War is the centre of attention for two Polish historians: Sylwester Fertacz and Ryszard Kaczmarek. The former describes the Panslavic conceptions of the Polish nationalist (mainly nationalist Catholic) factions at that time. According to them, the independence of the Polish state had to be secured by constructing a Greater Poland, greater in the geographical but also in the demographic and military respect. The realisation of this idea was to be based on the co-operation of the Slavic nations aimed at integrating the states of the Central and Southern Europe. Ryszard Kaczmarek, on the other hand, focuses on the German national policy on the territories incorporated into the Reich in the years 1939—1945, that is in: Pomerania, Greater Poland (Wielkopolska), Silesia, Luxemburg, Lorraine, Alsace, Lower Styria, Camiola.
