Transcription: Geneva will understand that now that Germany is strong the League has ceased to count in Danzig. Sunday 18 19-1-36.1936   Four hours with Stevenson. I have read a large number of minutes relating to discussions in the F.O. and the conversations with Raczinski, Polish Ambassador in London. All show that the problems are being faced but the way out is not clear. Even the abrogation of the articles in the Versailles Treaty were considered & the withdrawal of the H.C. Malkin raises legal difficulties about the first. It seems to be recognized that a situation might arise which I should feel compelled to resign. There is no sign of any tendency not to give me 100% support. But is the problem not insoluble? Military occupation is to be ruled out. Economic pressure by the League would require an Assembly decision; and even if

Transcription: the members of the Council most concerned six weeks ago to warn them of the situation and had endeavoured by diplomatic means to find an issue from the situation.   But he had not the slightest doubt that I had done excellently in my Report.   Walters, just back from London & suffering from a chill, did not seem quite so happy. But the Polish-British conversations in London on the subject seem to have been on the whole, satisfactory. If the Danzigers insist in their defiance, Poland is prepared to accept a mandate from the Council.   Of course I imagine the case makes special difficulties for Britain (as rapporteur) and Danzig, one must remember, involves all kinds of questions relating to Eastern Europe in which Britain is chary of interfering. or becoming committed.   Nothing, one may suppose, will or can prevent Danzig becoming again a focus of international trouble and danger. But if League prestige can be maintained in this case it may help - even if only

Transcription: postponing or lessening the crisis a little.   Senatorat Böttcher, looking rather grim, shook hands with me as he walked into Krabbe's office today. To K. he said the H.C.'s report had shocked them; he added that the H.C. was the only source of trouble in Danzig (!); that he (B.) was Gernan and that Germany would not allow this to continue. So the cat comes out of the bag again. This confidence is the real explanation of Danzig's defiance of the League.   B. has all the fervour of a convert. He is now more Nazi than Mr. Hitler. But that would not matter if he had intelligence & gave wise advice to his President. How much of the speech of 27th Nov. he was responsible for & how much Forster, I don't know; but I guess they share the responsibility.   It looks as though Danzig was going to fight. B. was two days in Berlin; has he any mandate from Berlin & if so from whom? For, of course, Berlin is divided, too.   Well, I have spent two years, persuading, advising, coaxing and warning; it was not enough. It was answered on 27-November. with defiance and a high & mighty "This closes a chapter." I am worried and anxious, as is my nature. Perhaps they were right when they said, in effect, that the realists in

Transcription: 17/1/36. Did not sleep til 5 Am. but was allowed to sleep till 11.30 Am when I unpacked & went to lunch with Krabbe. 4 pm. an hour's conversation with Walters.  General support but a little uncertain as to whether my Report could be misinterpreted as anit- nazi. Various ideas od action  considered. A long talk also with Avenol who said my report was "literature - a fine piece of writing" etc. I queried "And what about its politics?"  For that he gave 100% support.  Madame Venier gave me a lift back to hotel & wants to know when you are coming here 3½ to 4 hours Danzig talks today up to 7 pm

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.
