Zawada was a private village of
Polish nobility, administratively located in the Świecie County in the
Pomeranian Voivodeship of the Kingdom of Poland. Following the joint German-Soviet
invasion of Poland, which started
World War II in September 1939, Pruszcz was
occupied by Germany until 1945. In 1941, the occupiers carried out
expulsions of Poles, who were deported to transit camps in
Tczew and ,
Bydgoszcz, while their houses were handed over to
German colonists as part of the
Lebensraum policy. ==References==
