During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), Przetoczyno was one of the sites of executions of Poles, carried out by the Germans in 1939 as part of the Intelligenzaktion,[3] and the Germans also expelled several Polish families, whose farms were then handed over to German colonists as part of the Lebensraum policy.[4]
