Transcription: Re my note on 4/10:  Vonketcharitch  called last night and eventually said he wanted personal advice. It seems  Polychromades  Greek minister, (married to a cousin of  Sobbotitch  lately Yugoslav minister & "enemy" of  Vonketcharitch ) charged him (V.) at a dinner party with being a paid German agent. V. says he was "tight" & that the hostess reported the affair to V. Then it appeared she was Countess Moretti.

Transcription: Left page   20/XI/1939 Sokoline back from Paris, and Pelt, back from Brussels, the Hague, & Stockholm, say the generally accepted story is that Germany had intended to invade Holland on 12th- November. If so, why didn't she? Was it internal doubts, aided by the Munich bomb of 9th- Nov.? Was it only a case of bringing pressure with threats on neutrals to secure more economic aid? Pelt arranged with Jean Deasy that his 17-year-old daughter, studying in Holland, shd be given an honorary post of attaché to the Canadian Legation at the Hague to help her escape if invasion comes.  Right page   24/XI/39 Krauel who has just returned from Berlin is talking in the following way to Permanent Delegates and others: Germany does not object to a League of Nations, but it must be reformed and become a true instrument of collaboration.  She has no intention of attacking either Belgium or Holland and from his talk, seem to be fighting only England.  They will not occupy Netherlands, nor undertake any offensive; the former would risk bringing the United States in. For the future he could not see anything but a stalemate and only Russia would benefit from a long war.  Germany's agreement with Russia was a sad necessity and if Ribbentrop had been listened to last year, Poland would have been occupied inst- ead of Czechoslovakia and there would have been no war.  It was Goering he said who wished Czechoslova- kia to be occupied.  Regarding Italy, Germany preferred a strong friendly neutral rather than a weak ally.

I think I should say there is a profound distrust here of the Chamberlain government, and the recently announced policy of that government in relation to India has done a lot of harm as far as public sentiment in this country is concerned.  If that is what Great Britain really thinks about democracy, there would be little temptation over here to join in the defense of such a rotten system.  As a matter of fact, there is, I think, more sympathy for France than there is for Great Britain in this crisis.  Part of this is traditional; part of it is based on ignorance of what the French position really is.  The feeling against Nazism and Bolchevism grows daily, and the danger is that as anger rises we shall become as intolerant as we were following the last war, and seriously jeopardize our own civil liberties.  But don't let anybody tell you we are going to join up in the fighting; I would be willing to bet a hundred to one that we won't."

Description: Ratne bojne dopisnice (Feldpost) bile su najfunkcionalnije sredstvo komuniciranja vojnika sa porodicom tokom Prvog svjetskog rata. Većinom su bile cenzurisane i na njima se nalazio pečat vojne cenzure, regimentalni pečat i pečat vojne pošte. Na velikom broju dopisnica nalazila su se sva tri pečata, međutim, nerijetko se nalazio samo jedan ili dva. Poznato je da su vojnici bili strogo kažnjavani ukoliko su svjesno pisali bilo šta što otkriva vojne tajne. Pisati su mogli samo vojnici. Sve što bi napisali davalo bi se vojnom cenzoru da to pregleda i tek kad on odobri moglo se poslati porodici. Čitajući pisma, može se uvidjeti da su ona poprilično štura, te da su dobro pazili o svemu šta je napisano, upravo iz razloga da bi izbjegli probleme sa nadređenim. Feldpost sistem Austro-ugarske Monarhije, omogućavao je vojnicima da komuniciraju sa svojim najbližima. Sačuvane razglednice i pisma pružaju lični pogled na to kako su pojedini vojnici doživljavali sukobe. || Devet bojnih dopisnica (Feldpost)

Description: Este un volum de jurnal din cele trei deţinute de Biblioteca Judeţeană Octavian Goga Cluj. || Dumitru Nistor, ţăran din satul Năsăud s-a născut în 1893. Visând din copilărie să călătorească şi să vadă ţări străine, în 1912, când vine vremea “număraşului” (recrutării) el cere să fie primit nu în miliţia ardeleană, unde erau recrutaţi de obicei românii, ci în marina austro-ungară. Terminând şcoala de marină, după o călătorie la Viena, este îmbarcat ca Geschützvormeister (“primul îndreptător de tun”) pe vasul SMS Kaiserin Elisabeth, cu destinaţia Asia. Prins de război în Marea Chinei, crucişătorul Kaiserin Elisabeth participă la câteva bătălii navale, pentru ca în 2 noiembrie 1914 să se hotărască scufundarea lui. Echipajul pierde şi lupta terestră, este luat prizonier de japonezi şi transportat în arhipelagul nipon. Timp de zece luni, ţăranul-marinar din Năsăud va fi prizonier într-o mănăstirea buddhistă din Himeji, iar apoi mutat într-un lagăr, construit special pentru prizonierii germani şi austrieci, la Aonogahara, nu departe de Kobe, unde va rămâne până la sfârşitul anului 1919.
