After the Munich Agreement in September 1938 and following the occupation of the Czech lands in March 1939, with the existing prisons gradually filled up as a result of the Nazi terror, the Prague Gestapo police prison was set up in the Small Fortress in 1940. The first inmates arrived on June 14, 1940. By the end of World War II 32,000 prisoners, of whom 5,000 were women, passed through the Small Fortress.

Primarily Czechs passed through the Small Fortress and later on as well other nationalities, such as for instance citizens of the former Soviet Union, Poland, Germans or Yugoslavs. Most of the prisoners were arrested for various acts of resistance to the Nazi regime and were later sent to extermination camps like Mauthausen. This was also the destiny to family members and supporters of Reinhard Heydrich assassins. The Jewish Ghetto was created in 1941.
