Summary/Abstract: The article scrutinizes Nazi Germany’s occupation policy in Yugoslavia and in the Soviet Union in 1941. Particular attention is given to the German application of “divide et impera” principle on the territories of formerly multinational states, whose ethnic groups fought to win occupier’s favours with varying success, meeting at the same time Germany’s demands, chiefly wide participation in destruction of the Jews as a condition to partake in Nazi geopolitical rearrangement of Europe.
