Banat, 1941-1944
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Banat was an autonomous region within German-occupied Serbia between 1941 and 1944. The region was established after occupation and partition of Kingdom of Yugoslavia by the Axis Powers. All power within region was in the hands of local ethnic German minority, while regional civilian commissioner was Josef-Sepp Lapp. Following the defeat of Axis Powers in 1944, this German-ruled region was revoked and most of its territory was included into autonomous province of Vojvodina within new socialist Yugoslavia.
