The article examines the question whether the accusations against the pro-Catholic Slovene People’s Party (SLS) regarding the political situation in Slovakia just before the Second World War, and the suppositions that Slovakia represented a role model for the SLS, were based on fact or not. At the beginning of the 1940’s Slovakia, led by Josef Tiso, was formed within the Nazi »new order«. The author has ascertained, however, that Tiso’s Slovakia denoted to the SLS but a possible state formation that could ensure the survival of Slovenia in case of possible disintegration of Yugoslavia and the victory of the Axis Forces. In certain periods between the capitulation of France in the summer of 1940 and the attack of the Nazi Germany on the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941 this victory seemed certain. The SLS felt that the internal political arrangement of Slovakia as a Catholic country with provinces would considerably approach its own notions about the political and social arrangement of Slovenia as formed by the SLS in the second half of the 1920’s. Although the SLS rejected and condemned fascism and Nazism on principle, many of its ideas were similar to theirs and, given the appropriate circumstances, might be even compatible with them.
