History

Establishment

On September 16, 1944 Aleksandar Tsankov made a radio announcement, stating that „The fight for the liberation of Bulgaria from the Jewish-Bolshevik yoke is in secure hands. The Bulgarian National government calls on fight against the oppressors of our fatherland.".

In February 1945 the Bulgarian Government moves from Vienna to Altauszee and soon after that dissolves.

After the Second World War Tsankov fled to Argentina and died in Belgrano, Buenos Aires in 1959.
