Transcription: Left page   He called on Lipski, Polish Ambassador, and found him a-twitter. Had an appointment with von Ribbentrop but was told he could not be found. So went on to Danzig. Greiser discussed normal problems, Jews, etc in Boettcher's presence. Forster was "in hospital for a serious operation" (I am very sceptical). Later, Greiser said he had recently seen Hitler who was annoyed with the Poles and said that if they behaved he would still leave Danzig, but if not "he wd show them who was master". So B. stayed 3 days in Danzig..  Right page     I hope the Poles won't begin a war over Danzig. It wd be the worst ground. Such is the mentality of the day.   Prepared a note for Walters (and F.O.) suggesting the use of Geneva as a rallying point - in spite of its smash - alongside the alliance system they seem to be working on. But Avenol says "No": the League's time is not yet. I wonder if, in any case, Chamberlain wd have the courage to eat some of his hard words about the League. Are we still to lie on the shelf.   Avenol says he at one time simply contemplated closing

Transcription: G.B. France, USA, & Russia seem  to refuse to recognize the new annexations - or "colonial protectorate" in Europe.  G.B. taking a vigorous lead; Russia at last approached for what seems to be alliance Smaller powers, & Poland, more or less invited to come in.   Great anxiety about Rumania - an economic ultimatum from Berlin - suppression of industries & complete control of trade in exchange for "guarantee" of frontiers.   Rumania sends an Army corps to the frontier. Oil! Oil!   Daladier gets full powers from French Parliament.   No message of congratulation from Mussolini to Hitler.  Right page   Burckhardt, who was allowed to go back to Danzig (I opposed it strongly) was there 3 days. On Sunday 12th March, he reached Berlin & had a talk with Weizacker (Permanent Head of F.O.) who had been (through Krauel) urging Burckhardt to return a week before. W. daringly frank, said he was most anxious and wished, for B.'s sake & the League's, he was not going to Danzig. "These people are going mad." B. learned of the plan to occupy Prague: I believe British & French did not know at the time. Danzig & Memel were not safe.

Transcription: Left page   Elsie & I are again wishing we had our goods & chattels stored in Ireland.  Right page   18/3/39.   Chamberlain spoke last night and reversed British policy.   Five minutes apology for his cold, lame and inadequate remarks in Parliament on Wednesday night; 20 minutes defense of "Munich"; & half an hour's attack on Hitler. Politely he called him a liar, without using Duff-Cooper's "a traitor thrice perjured". He quoted Hitler's promises & undertakings, private & public, & asked who could trust him. Again, is it the beginning of his attempt to dominate the world? If so G.B. wd resist him.   The "Manchester Guardian" says it is the gravest warning speech made since Sir E. Grey's in August, 1914.

Transcription: Left page   17/3/39.  St. Patrick's Day.     We are, on the whole a fortunate & happy country in spite of our partition problem.     Alexandre Guranesco, new Roumanian Minister, who has served in Bulgaria, Belgrade, Vienna, Berne etc, made his "call" this morning.   He summarised the situation by saying that the events of this week would end in a Franco-British occupation of Berlin. - not, perhaps, in a year, or two years, but a logical result.   The German plan of domination was now in the open, and the step outside German racial &  Right page  sympathetic boundaries would be fatal.   He was in Vienna till the Anchluss. 35% of population was opposed; 30% (young generation) Nazi & pro-Anchluss; & 35% followed the winning side.   He had just returned from a visit to his brother-in-law, Roumanian Ambassador in Warsaw; & said the foles were not cognisant of the German plan, & were alarmed again by the developments.   Germany, above all, wanted Roumanian oil. Their (R.) military attaché in Berlin, had reported that the synthetic petrol had turned out to be a fiasco.

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.
