History

On 1943-11-20 several Communist and non-Communist underground groups formed a joint resistance organization that they called Slovenská národná rada. It planned to launch a national uprising timed to occur simultaneously with the advance of the Red Army into Slovakia. SNR’s objective would be overthrow the Tiso regime, contribute with Slovak forces to the expulsion of the Germans, and assume political power in the immediate post-war period until democratic elections could be held.
