Diary 3: May 1936 - February 1937
Item 50
Transcription: no doubt everyone would welcome a really sound arrangement between Poland and Germany which would ease the European situation of one of its danger points, and that naturally my only concern and interest was that if changes were to take place with regard to Danzig they should follow a legal form and that the general interests of the League in pursuit of the pacific settlement of all disputes would be ensured. At the same time I recalled that immediately after the last Geneva meeting, when there was much nervousness and uncertainty as to whether Greiser's declarations would be followed by a coup de force, I had believed that two elements would make it much less likely. One was Polish determination to act and Germany's full knowledge of that fact, thus leading at any rate to a method of discussion rather than force. Similarly I now felt that a clarification of Poland's position might help the more moderate elements and perhaps more experienced elements in the German Government, as against the policy of the extremists which might very well endanger European peace. On the whole the conversation, which is only noted above in a very sketchy fashion, was of a nature to clarify the Polish position, but it disclosed the fundamental elements of European concern and even danger.

Diary 3: May 1936 - February 1937
Item 49
Transcription: Private Diary August 7th 1936. I had a conversation with Mr. Papée today before leaving for my ten days holiday. I drew his attention to a decision of the Press Court in the case of one of the recent suppressions. In this judgment the Court said that one sentence alone in the newspaper would have justified suppression for several months. This sentence (I quote from memory) was to the effect that the League of Nations had been during the past fifteen years, and was today, one of the best guarantees for Germanism in Danzig. I said to him that a decision of this kind was taken by me as a symptom of the determination of the Government to break the guarantee of the Constitution. Papée remarked à propos of the Notes exchanged between Warsaw and Berlin, of which he was not yet able to let me have copies, but which had been sent to the President of the Council, that any German attempt to make the incident during the reception for the "Admiral Scheer" officers a year ago the foundation for their refusal to call on the High Commissioner when the "Leipzig" visited Danzig was altogether too thin. He gave me the impression that his Government fully appreciated that any attempt to make the "Leipzig" incident have a purely personal bearing was merely a subterfuge. He referred again to the fact that the conversations between Berlin and Warsaw were not yet finished, and I remarked that I was not optimistic as to the outcome. Mr. Papée again emphasised that Poland regarded her interests in Danzig as vital, and he added quite clearly the presence of the League in Danzig was also vital. Poland was and would be prepared to fulfil all her obligations and he even went so far as to say that if a mandate from the Council was not given Poland might in certain circumstances be forced herself to take the initiative. I reported to him some of the stories circulating in Danzig as to a complete Polish-German accord on the future of the Free City. He described these reports as fantastic. He told me that there was much uncertainty as to what degree of interest either the League or its two principal members, France and Britain, could or would show for Poland in support of the maintenance of the status quo. He directed my attention to the reaction which had been seen in the Danzig press to the decision to renew Polish representation in Tschequo-Slovakia, and indicated that the arrangements with France would be showh in the near future to be reality. This was in response to my mentioning the various rumours, and what appeared to be the continued uncertainty in many quarters as to Polish policy. I said that

Kriegstagebuch vom Kriegsfreiwilligen Paul Kopp
Item 112
Transcription: Linke Seite schön "es wäre eine Reihe von Mißverständnissen" hatte aber Katzenpfoten.Mittags verlangte man Urlaubs- gesuch u. Schein.Das Gesuch hatte ich nun zu Hause ge- lassen,doch wie ich den Schein hergeben will,fällt mir der Stempel 24.6.18 ein u. ehe ich etwas dachte hatte ich das Datum geändert u. eine Urkundenfälschung war fertig.Kaum jedoch war der Radfahrer fort,da be- fiel mich eine derart wahnsinnige Angst,daß ich mich mit Stahlhelm auf's Rad setzte,um alles dem Regt. zu gestehen.Unterwegs fiel mir aber noch Ltn. Büttner ein u das war wohl mein Glück.Er riet mit sofort den Urlaubsschein wiederzuverlangen u. zu sage, ich hätte ihn vernichtet.Außerdem te- lefonierte er sofort zum Batl.,er brauche den Ur- laubsschein u. er solle sofort unter Verschluß gebracht u. an ihn adressiert liegen bleiben,er werde ihn holen lassen.Ich fuhr selber nach Estevelles u holte ihn u. so war ich gerettet.Sonst hätte ich wohl wegen einer Handlung,die gar nicht voll bewußt geschehen ist ,den Rock ausziehen müssen.Tags darauf hatte ich die Grippe. Mit meiner patenten Hungerkur war die Sache in zwei Tagen weg,wenigstens das Rechte Seite allergröbste. Inzwischen war das erste Heft von Pochelmanns Gedächtnislehre gekommen u. ich begann mit Hochdruck daran zu arbeiten. 1.7.18 war ich in Stellung zum Sperrfeuerrahmen einbauen. Trotzdem 3 M.G. Offz. in Stellung waren,mußte ich dazu hinaus! Nun kam die Katzenpfote des Regts. mit den Krallen zum Vorschein:Weil ich am 25.7.18 nachts 12 h erst am 26.7.18 vorm. 8:30 h eingetroffen bin,also wegen 8½ Stunden Verspätung bekam ich 2 Tage Stuben- arrest.Das ist in meinen Augen eine derart niedrige u. rachsüchtige Gemeinheit,daß ich anfangs überhaupt nicht wußte,was tun.Nicht einmal beschweren kann ich mich,da sonst Ltn Kellerer, Adj. III./3 reinfliegt,weil er eben diese meine Ur- laubsverlängerung,ohne sie dem Alten vorzulegen mit " a. b. " unterschrieben hat. 6.7 mt. 11.7. war ich am Regts. Gef.stand u konnte mich vor Flöhen kaum retten. 12. mt. 15. Ruhe 16. mt. 26 Stellungals Kp. Fhr. ab 30. 7. bekam ich einen Ausbildungskurs am 08/15.

Ratne bojne dopisnice - Feldpost iz Prvog svjetskog rata
22 Items
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)

160 Items
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.
