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. Dabei war ich ziemlich oft bei Kienbergers Hausleu- ten mit den zwei Töchtern.Und _____ . 11.8.18 erhöhte Bereitschaft;infolgedessen wird ab

Diary 3: May 1936 - February 1937
Item 46
Transcription: - 2 - I have now a little more information about the Notes exchanged between Warsaw and Berlin, and believe that by inference at any rate the displeasure of the Führer at the present High Commissioner may be indicated. I do not think the Council can afford to let me be made a scареgoat and I should myself have something to say. The problem is not made easier by the prospect of another German warship at the end of this month visiting Danzig, and I have raised this matter also with Papée. On the same occasion I gave him a copy of a letter sent to me by Greiser on June 3rd, congratulating me on my reappointment, referring to my selfless mediation, etc. An illuminating contrast to his speech a fortnight later. Papée expressed his surprise that I had not produced this at the Council meeting. I recalled to him my conversatior with Lubienski and said that my difficulty had been to refrain from saying things on that occasion. He remarked that perhaps the steadiness of this policy had been the most advantageous. I then said that of course I would have to make a report shortly, in which this restraint would play little part. British have made representation in Warsaw as to the position of H.C. & have pointed out (as I have often done myself) that failure of the Council to ensure the guarantee of the Constitution would also involve the other guarantees of the League in Danzig.

Diary 3: May 1936 - February 1937
Item 45
Transcription: Danzig, August 6th 1936. The naiveté of Greiser was again illustrated in an incident told me last night by the American Consul. The European representative of the Columbia Broadcasting Company had asked me to broadcast to the United States. I had refused, but he came here and eventually saw Greiser, who promptly agreed. They had some general conversation and in reply to a question Greiser said: "But you know the principle of the National Socialist movement - obedience from below and orders from above. I am not the head of the Party in Danzig and I have to take my orders." An extraordinary declaration from the head of the Government and head of a State, but illuminating for the American. At one point in the conversation Greiser said that they would be prepared to have another High Commissioner here: a German. Then he added as an afterthought: "Or an American". The American of course would not interfere with internal affairs. The American, Kalterborn von Kaltenborn , also wanted to see Forster (I had myself suggested this to him) and called at Forster's office half an hour after his interview with Greiser. He found Greiser and Huth in the waiting-room, awaiting the pleasure of the Gauleiter, but was told that the Gauleiter was far too busy to see him. Greiser was to answer a series of questions. These were prepared and the broadcast was to take place some four days later, on Saturday night. Gallman had expressed his surprise at the prompt acceptance by Greiser without consultation with others. His doubts were justified. The questions were prepared, apparently with some considerable skill and knowledge. On the Friday night Kalterbourne von Kaltenborn got a telephone message from Boettcher saying he was sorry "owing to technical difficulties" the President could not broadcast. Kalterbourne von Kaltenborn , who speaks to millions of Americans every week, was enraged at this treatment, saying that everything had been fixed up and announced in America, that he knew what the technical reasons were and he would fly to London at once and make the broadcast himself. I should like to have heard his story.

Diary 3: May 1936 - February 1937
Item 44
Transcription: Danzig, August 5th 1936. Baron de la Tournelle and Count Ponzone visited me yesterday. Both had stories to the effect that an arrangement had been made or was about to be made between Poland and Germany to settle finally the Danzig question. The Frenchman's story was that a Polish Deputy here had been told by Colonel Slowak that Poland had already agreed to give up her rights in Danzig! The Italian spoke for ten minutes without interruption from me. I would give five pounds to have a gramaphone record of his melliflous French. I felt an impulse to ask him if he had ever thought of a literary career; I could not help picturing him on the stage in a clever, if light, comedy. He said that he smelt something in the air; he had no evidence but he believed something was certainly being arranged of a very important character. The only fact he had in addition to those already told me by de la Tournelle was that the Polish Commissariat was working feverishly. He had not been able to see Mr. Papée and was told day after day he was too much occupied with telephone calls and interviews, etc. I reflected that there might be another explanation. Ponzone has his human side too, and one gets to like him more for it, in spite of his exaggerated touchiness. At the end of our conversation he remarked that he had a personal interest: if Danzig went back to the Reich suddenly for his career would be broken. He explained that he had to serve two years in a first-class Consulate-General before he got his Legation. There were only five posts of this kind independent of Legations and Ambassadors, and if Danzig went back to Germany he would have to report to the Ambassador in Berlin. One of the other posts was Dublin. I agreed with him that the climate there was very damp. I hear that my friend De Lieto has at last accepted the Legation at Quito which he had refused on leaving Danzig. I have expressed the view in the right quarters that what appears to be the policy of postponing action regarding Danzig may be useful as far as the general European situation is concerned, but will most likely render the Danzig problem still more difficult to settle later on. The Committee of Three has not met although they have had my preliminary Report for about two weeks. The idea seems to me to be not to introduce Danzig in an an aggravating aggravat way while the impending new Locarno conference is at stake. I may be wrong. Italy and Germany have now accepted invitations and the conference will probably meet about the middle of October. I am for the time being holding up the preparation of the more general Report on the situation here which will be needed. In a conversation with Mrl Papée on the 3rd instant he seemed to agree with me that the Danzig situation would represent a fait accompli unless some factor could be introduced in the meantime. I indicated that I thought this could only be done in Danzig and perhaps only by Poland.

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)

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.
