Transcription: 20 June '36   I am awaiting with a certain amount of anxiety the results of discussions and enquiries going on behind the scenes. President Greiser has been absent from Danzig twice this week and I understand that yesterday the same could be said of Mr. Forster and the German Consul General. President Greiser is expected back this morning. They have all been in Berlin of course, and I am told that when Berlin received three different versions of events, one from Greiser, one from Forster and one from von Radowitz, these three people were summoned to discuss the situation.   I cannot believe that any but one view can be taken of the political situation here. I doubt if any new campaign can be OPENED against me in circumstances in which it is a question of half the German population of Danzig against the other half; and and where it is also quite probably the question of differing views within the National Socialist Party in Danzig itself; and where Forster has made public declarations which can only be interpreted as a threat to take the streets of Danzig into under control of the forces under him, in disregard of the position of the State police. Greiser, having been informed by me of the action I had taken with von Radowitz, privately asked me to give him a letter which would provide an ostensible basis for some action by himself also. He has this with him in an unequivocal form. Forster is the source of disturbance a danger to Germany, Danzig, Poland and a source of weakness to his own Party. On the whole the display of force in the Töpfergasse went too far to achive political results in the way which might have been hoped for in some quarters. The press versions seem to me to be 75% blatant lies, but too many people saw something of the affair to enable these distortions to be generally accepted. On the whole I would estimate that the N.S. elements, while increasing a feeling of terrorism, have lost ground. If Berlin is well served they must know that also.   Himmler, who came to Danzig for one of the funerals with special wreaths from the Führer, is himself an extremist in the Party and has been known to me as one of the elements in Germany who have supported Forster.

Transcription: Right page   Poland to support the H.C. and said I was going to see Papee this morning. He hoped I would not make any formal demarche with Poland.   I referred to the fact that I had a verbatim report of Forster's speech (his loud-speakers could be heard in adjacent houses!) & he asked for a copy; it would, he said, help him. In private personal conversation afterwards, he told me he was having difficulties with Forster & I mentioned to him my step with the German Gov. He asked me to send him also a letter on the subject. It would give him ground for certain action (? with Goring).   Said F's adjutant, whom I had mentioned, was very badly advising F. & that he G. was in serious conflict with him.   Am keeping up steady pressure on all parties, & taking every preventive measure possible, to keep the situation from developing into a crisis requiring international action, perhaps a request for force, which would complicate a situation in Europe already tense enough.  Left page   G. assured me that the police were well in his hands; the Commander Bethke, was his man & would take any orders he gave him & from nobody else.

Transcription: Left page   After my formal talk I told von Radowitz that the people in Berlin knew I was trying to prevent mischief but that, in certain circs I would not hesitate to take the strongest action. If I were not supported I would at once resign & explain why without too much diplomatic nicety. "That would mean an international force," he said. "Perhaps not international," I replied, "in view of the results (of Forster's policy) in the Council resolution of January". He promised to telegraph to Berlin at once.  Right page   forces is very bad. June 15th  More interviews & a series of outrages described including some with, it is alleged, police looking on. Write formal note to Senate as warning.   See German Cons. Gen. officially to draw his attention to Forster's activity. He agrees. Says F. does not, as he publicly claims, represent the Fuhrer. Says Greiser feels he is made to look like a fool, & feels powerless. 16th  Funeral of dead Nazi today. Big demonstration. All State flags half- masted & offices closed. Head of S.A. from Berlin arrives. Go to see Greiser to reinforce my letter & warn him that I must take heavy responsibility while the Council not sitting. Also that I may have to bring Danzig to the Special (Sanctions) sitting of the Council on 26th instant. He said openly he would regret that very much. Also referred him to Council's January resolution which especially mentioned

Transcription: all, I said. "But not so hard," complained the leader.   A young Nazi died in hospital   Situation very grave and dangerous. Forster calls meetings. I ask Greiser to use his influence to prevent incitement. See Papee & state my apprehensions.   Week-end passes with other outrages reported.   Monday 15th  The Free Ex-Servicemen's Association came to see ne. Three leaders with broken faces. Their meeting was broken up, although they had asked for prior police protection. The leader P________ placed while unconscious in front of an approaching tram. etc. etc.   A visit from Papee. He has protested against maltreatment of roles during the melee.   Other accounts say that police cleared off the streets just before the attack began. One says Forster's adjutant say saw to that!   Hear G. is going to Berlin & send urgently another message that I would take such steps as seemed necessary if the situation got worse.   The absence of confidence in the police

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.
