Triple Occupation. Banking Systems of the Occupying Powers in the Pre-War Eastern Territories 1939–1946

Summary/Abstract: The present article examines the transformation of banking systems in the occupied eastern territories of the Second Poland Republic in 1939–1946. It briefly discusses the banking policies of the Soviet and German occupiers and the essential role they assigned to the financial institutions they established. The text is divided into three main sections: the first presents the issue of banking during the first Soviet occupation of Poland’s eastern territories in 1939–1941; the second outlines Germany’s occupational banking system in the parts of the Second Republic that were incorporated into the Reichskommissariat Ostland and Ukraine; the third is devoted to the second Soviet occupation in 1944–1945.
