Transcription: Half-way through the dinner last night President Greiser made a speech welcoming his guests. He began with the High Commissioner, to whom he gave a special welcome as the representative of the League, guarantor of the Status and Constitution of Danzig and to whom he made some cordial references in connection with the collaboration between the two.   Anyone listening to this little complimentary speech would have thought there wasn't a cloud on the horizon and it was a rather interesting introduction to the discussions at Geneva. I had, however, to make a mental reservation as I had noticed a similar tendency immediately prior to other meetings of the Council during the past year, but I think perhaps a little more was behind the remarks, which on this occasion were rather public, than a desire to appeal to my good nature in view of Geneva discussions. (Naturally I always take the line that Geneva discussions are entirely between the Council and the Senate).   The President's statement was made before the Polish representative, the President of the Harbour Board, the Doyen of the Consular Corps, the German Consul General and several Senators and leaders of the S.A. and S.S. Mr. Forster was absent from this function.

Transcription: I also said much might depend on G's attitude at Geneva. And said I felt had no reason to believe that things would go better even without F. G. he replied could not say anything to me as he might even be shot! which was perhaps a recognizable exaggeration. He urged me to represent his views at Geneva as having official support.   It may help. No polite or diplomatic ambiguities, he said, & I replied that the time for that at any rate was passed.   Vice-President Huth again sat by Elsie and wouldn't let her say a word to Greiser. His youthfulness is rather attractive & he is genuinely attracted for attracted to Elsie. Another follow who, with more reasonable advisers, might or in a situation in which the League & his Party are were not cast in opposing roles, could help to make Danzig life more pleasant. Young & inexperienced, of course, and with a horizon entirely limited by his Party for which he says he would die.

Transcription: Left page   Von Radowitz said that there should be no hesitation in a very definite line being taken in Geneva with regard to Forster. He remarked that Hitler did not hear all that he should hear perhaps, and that if the question became public it would be inevitable that it should be brought to his attention and he believed the results would be good for Danzig, for Poland, for the League and also for Germany. The dualism in Danzig administration created an impossible situation for all interested. When I said that I found it impossible to make any distinction between the public position of Greiser and that of Forster and that on the other hand statements of the head of the Government had to be taken even more seriously; that furthermore there had been no evidence in any official transaction since the speech of November 27th of any weakening in the Senate's anti-League policy, he remarked that from his knowledge of events here he believed that would be clea cleared up. Greiser, he said, could not talk to me as he (von R.) was talking to me, and his comment was to the effect that Greiser dare not until Forster goes.   In recording this conversation I wish it to remain clear that any relations I have had with the German Consul General have always been strictly correct in so far as the Status of the FreeCity might be said to be concerned. The conversation is interesting, however, as a further confirmation of the information I obtained in Berlin as to the attitude of the German official authorities with regard to Forster.  Right page   14 . January 1935 [6]   Dined with Pres. Greiser in the Rathaus For the first time in the history of Danzig, so far as can be traced, ladies were allowed to dine in the Red Room, decorated with fine panelling, the pictures on the wall above the panels being indirectly illuminated and the dinner tables lit with candles A lovely old room with old silver and brass on the table.   The only notable political conversation was with German Cons. Gen. von Radowitz, who said, "F. must go and G. must stay" a service to all concerned, League, Danzig & Poland, if the parallelism could be once for all abolished. I said it was more than difficult to see how G. could be dissociated especially in view of his speech: that had dominated my report & would greatly influence decisions in Geneva.

Transcription: Nothing political - Greiser's customary hope that all will go better between us officially. He is giving the dinner in the Red Hall Rote Saale of the Old Rathaus on 13th in my honour, he says. He's really not a bad chap - apart from his politics here.   Krabbe writes to me of an interview at Geneva with Con. Gen. Kruel of Germany - now the only link there - apropos of Danzig. Spoke as though Forster's removal were imminent and said Greiser was more soldier than diplomat. and inquired as to the result of my talk with Eden last month.   Tea party with the Ignacy Zietkiewicz's also yesterday. Papee's principal aid. Pleasant people.   Today the old Count & Countess von Keyserlingk came for lunch, stayed for afternoon tea & bridge - She says to me to be patient with Danzig. Their position in the "corridor" not so bad in  a way as for Danzig as there were of course Poles also there but here were only Germans, etc. I said that the attitude of the Danzig Government was that now they needed neither sympathy nor aid & relied only on the strong arm of Germany.

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.
