Gau was a district of the german Empire in the 9th century, the same for Kreis.
Alsaco wrote :
Poland, government in England, received a General Government, under Frick, Parti member.
Tchekei, government in England, received a General Government, under Heydrich, Gestapo Chef. Heydrich was assassinated in 1942
Slovakia, national government, under Hlinka, I think.
The master of the Generalgouvernement was Hans Frank who was a Reichsleiter.
Wilhelm Frick was Reichsprotektor of Böhmen-Mähren. He succeeded the Baron Konstantin von Neurath in 1943 (both Reichsminister)
As a Reichsprotektorat, Bohemia & Moravia did had a head of state (Dr Emil Hacha) and a government, which wasn't the case of Poland.
Slovakia had a president, Mgr Tiso.
The map seen above is good. All the new Gauen are understandable as they were occupied by germanic people. But what about Bialystok ?
