Summary

Description
English: 14 March. Hlinka Guard Day 1935 – 1939; Slovak propaganda poster
  • Slovak Nazi propaganda poster published 1939 by the Hlinka Party (aka the Slovak People's party), a clerical Fascist party that ruled Slovakia 1939-1945 as a client state of Nazi Germany.
  • Artwork by Andrej Kovacik (1899–1953)
  • Painting in colour of a young man in paramilitary uniforms of the Hlinka Guard, a Slovak Pro-Nazi militia before and during World War Two, holding the Hlinka party flag. In the background, a uprising sun with a patriarchal double cross .
  • Hlinka's Slovak People's Party (Slovak: Hlinkova slovenská ľudová strana), also known as the Slovak People's Party (Slovenská ľudová strana, SĽS) or the Hlinka Party, was a far-right clerico-fascist political party with a strong Catholic fundamentalist and authoritarian ideology. Its members were often called ľudáci (Ľudáks, singular: ľudák).
  • The Hlinka Guard (Slovak: Hlinkova garda; German: Hlinka-Garde; abbreviated as HG) was the militia maintained by the Slovak People's Party in the period from 1938 to 1945; it was named after Andrej Hlinka.
  • The flag of the Hlinka Party and its militia guard was a blue flag with a red double cross (patriarchal cross) in a white cirle (the arms of the cross reached to the edges of the circle).
  • The (First) Slovak Republic (Slovak: (Prvá) Slovenská republika), otherwise known as the Slovak State (Slovenský štát), was a partially-recognized client state of Nazi Germany which existed between 14 March 1939 and 4 April 1945 in Central Europe. The Slovak part of Czechoslovakia declared independence with German support one day before the German occupation of Bohemia and Moravia. It controlled most of the territory of present day Slovakia, without its current southern parts, which were ceded by Czechoslovakia to Hungary in 1938. It was the first time in history that Slovakia had been a formally independent state. Bratislava was declared the capital city.
