During World War II, following the Nazi German invasion of the USSR, the OUN-B faction (headed by Stepan Bandera) proclaimed Ukraine's independence in Lviv on 30 June 1941, with Yaroslav Stetsko as a prime minister. After twelve days, all members of this government were arrested by Germans. Bandera and Stetsko were sent to Berlin and then to the Sachsenhausen-Zellenbau concentration camp, where they were held with such political prisoners as Kurt Schuschnigg, Edouard Daladier, Stefan Rowecki. Stetsko was kept there until December 1944, and was freed when Germany decided to form the Ukrainian National Army led by general Pavlo Shandruk.
