Diary 8: May - December 1940
Item 23
Transcription: 18/6/40 A. made me feel like vomiting yesterday. He talked to Giraud and Aghmides & as G. said "He is discovering the virtues of Hitler before even the surrender is accepted." I now think when he called me he had the intention of sounding me out on his new role, his new mission. But I had spoiled it by talking of keeping a little personal dignity. He will stay now at any rate until France is a safer place to go to. A burning anger helped me thro' the day of France's defeat.

Transcription: -5- [page is torn out and crossed out, so text is partial:] er that it is the Battle of the Atlantic which holds the first e in the thoughts of those upon whom rests the responsibility for uring victory? It was therefore with indescribable relief that I learned of the endous decision lately taken by the President and people of the [Unite]d States. The American fleet and flying-boats have been ordered trol the wide waters of the Western Hemisphere and warn peaceful ing of all nations outside the combat zone of the presence of ng U-boats or raiding cruisers belonging to the two aggressor s. We British will therefore be able to concentrate our pro- g forces far more upon routes nearer home and take a far heavier f the U-boats there.

Item 20
Transcription: P1/8 (3) Quoted by Churchill ?194- -6- For while the tired waves vainly breaking Seem here no painful inch to gain, Far back through creeks and inlets making Comes, silent flooding in, the main. And not by eastern windows only, When daylight comes, comes in the light. In front the sun climbs slow—how slowly— but westward look! the land is bright.

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)

Dumitru Nistor prizonier de război în Japonia
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.
