Summary/Abstract: Today‘s Slovenia was occupied by four countries during the Second World War - Germany, Italy, Hungary and Croatia. The demarcation between them was mainly based on Hitler‘s instructions on the dismemberment of Yugoslavia. The borders were secured with minefields, wire fences and bunkers. The new borders changed the traditional patterns of life in these areas and cut into the daily life and habits of the local population. With this work, we show how the borders were politically and diplomatically determined, where over 660 kilometers of occupation borders passed, how they were secured and how life went along with them.
