... Bandera joined the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) in his twenties ... When the Polish Minister of the Interior was assassinated in 1936, Bandera was arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment. However, when the Germans invaded Poland in September 1939, he was set free by the Soviets and he moved to German occupied Poland ... Bandera and his people considered the Soviets and the Jews their main enemies ... Bandera's representatives declared the establishment of an independent Ukrainian government in LVOV on June 30, 1941. The Germans were completely opposed to this, so they deported Bandera to Sachsenhausen ... He led the OUN until his assassination in 1959.
