On September 1, 1939, Nazi Germany declared war on the nation of Poland. France and Great Britain followed suit, leading to what would become World War II. The only Axis nation to assist Germany in the invasion was the tiny state of Slovakia. The nation had been formed after its declaration of independence on March 14, 1939 (and under threat from Hitler that it would be annexed unless it did so). Nine days later it was attacked by Hungary in a short war in which much of its southern and eastern Slovak territories was ceded to Hungary. Germany left Slovakia to her own, but still called on her to assist her with the war against Poland.
Enter a young man named Nikolas, who joined sometime after the war with Hungary. The young man was a member of the 5th Infantry Regiment of the Second Division, stationed in Bratislava at the outbreak of the war. He had a sweetheart named Martina (known affectionately as Mat’ka for short), with whom he kept correspondence throughout the war. The letters have been preserved and are now being shared openly to the public.
