Vaške straže na območju južne Notranjske, 1942–1943

Abstract

The paper presents civic guards in southern Notranjska region, in the area of three present-day municipalities: Bloke, Cerknica and Lož Valley. Among the materials that helped us prepare the paper, the minutes of the interrogations of civic guards at local military courts in Kočevje and Ribnica have special significance, as they offer us an insight into the formation and operation of civic guards and reasons for enlisting with them.
