Hlinka Guards

Hlinka Guards – a paramilitary organisation of Hlinka’s Slovak People’s Party, formed in 1938. After the establishment of the Slovak state, they became part of the security apparatus and actively participated in the deportation of Slovak Jews, the expulsion of Roma from villages and their lynching. During the Slovak National Uprising, they took part alongside German troops in actions against the insurgents and the civilian population.
