why does this article need to continue to exist when there is a more complete version of it at History of Poland (1939-1945)?

---

Because General Government was a separate colony of Nazis, and as the separate entity it deserves for its shamefull history.

One cannot understand history of WWII, if he doesn't realise that in GG Nazis could have done everything they wished. Nobody cared what happenned to defeated Poles, while even in Germany, Nazis had some limitations.

Of course, Nazis got more area for implementing their Anty-utopia after 1941, but still, all death camps were set-up in GG.

Those are not very good reasons. The Nazi occupation of Poland is better covered at History of Poland (1939-1945). This article should be redirected there.

AM Poland in years 1939-45 were divided into - GG - annexed territories - Soviet Zone - Lithuanian part - Slovak parts 1941 - Eastern Galicia were added to GG - Bialystok region was addded to annexed territories

I feel that in the interest of clarity, the intro needs to show how the GG was not formed from all of pre-War Poland, but only the parts that weren't outright included in the German state. As it reads now, it gives the impression that all of Poland became the GG. Bwood 05:07, 9 Jul 2004 (UTC)

The situation of people were completely different in each of those territories. It is advised that it should be described in separate articles

I concur, GG needs its' own article since very often it is assumed that it was either a puppet-regime or even a rump polish state. This needs clarification and this page seems a good way to do it.

General Gouvernment was a very shameful part of german history. Today nobody remembers that the nazis were going to exterminate 80% of Poles (according to GENERALPLAN OST). The memory of those who were killed in GG should be kept in a separate article. GG wasn't something like Vichy State but like one big ghetto for Polish Nation! Yes it's true I added clarification on that. --Molobo 12:34, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
