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 Stellung als Kp. Fhr. ab 30. 7. bekam ich einen Ausbildungskurs am 08/15.   Dabei war ich ziemlich oft bei Kienbergers Hausleu- ten mit den zwei Töchtern.Und  _____ . 11.8.18 erhöhte Bereitschaft;infolgedessen wird ab

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.
