November 1938 · September 1939 · December 1939 The border moves twice moreHranica sa posunie ešte dvakrát

After the Munich Agreement broke Czechoslovakia in September 1938, Poland took the disputed border strips it had wanted for twenty years; in Orava that meant Suchá Hora and Hladovka, in November 1938. Ten months later the whole thing reversed. On 14 March 1939 Slovakia was declared an independent state under German protection, and in September 1939 Slovak troops joined Germany's attack on Poland — launched, in this sector, from this very border. All the territory lost in 1920, 1924 and 1938 was handed to Slovakia, and the Slovak parliament confirmed it in December 1939. For five and a half years Orava was whole again, and it had been made whole by joining an invasion. On 20 May 1945 the frontier went back to its 1920 line, and there it has stayed.Keď mníchovská dohoda v septembri 1938 rozbila Československo, Poľsko si vzalo sporné pohraničné pásy, o ktoré sa uchádzalo dvadsať rokov; na Orave to v novembri 1938 znamenalo Suchú Horu a Hladovku. O desať mesiacov sa to celé obrátilo. Dňa 14. marca 1939 bol vyhlásený samostatný Slovenský štát pod nemeckou ochranou a v septembri 1939 sa slovenské vojsko pridalo k nemeckému útoku na Poľsko — v tomto úseku práve odtiaľto. Všetko územie stratené v rokoch 1920, 1924 a 1938 pripadlo Slovensku a slovenský snem to v decembri 1939 potvrdil. Orava bola päť a pol roka celá — a scelili ju tým, že sa pripojila k prepadnutiu susedného štátu. Dňa 20. mája 1945 sa hranica vrátila na čiaru z roku 1920 a odvtedy sa nepohla.
