European Resistance Archive/European Resistance Archive (ERA)
-
Hearing the first news that some opposition had arisen somewhere -
-
especially once these news came to the Slovenians in the Primorje region, which belonged to Italy –
-
we all were automatically for the Partisan movement.
-
Not only were we inclined to it, indeed we experienced it extremely naively.
-
It was a romantic view of unconquerable Partisans,
-
the same Partisans who suddenly show up first here and then there, un-capturable!
-
The first Partisans were in our eyes according to our hopes and aspirations. They did not conform to reality.
-
Already in 1942 there were posters hung all over the Primorje region,
-
warrants for the arrest of a renowned Partisan of the time, Janko Premrl – Vojko.
-
Later he fell in action and was designated a national hero.
-
A financial reward was offered to anyone who would turn him over, dead or alive, to the Italian military authorities.
-
Despite the large sum posed, especially for the conditions at the time,
-
no-one was tempted to betrayal or the mediation of information,
-
which might bring about the arrest or the mere identification of his whereabouts or doings.
-
Vojko, that is, Janko Premrl became a legendary hero in our eyes.
-
We attributed to him various activities, which he never even did, nor could he have done.
-
We said he’d been to Venice, Rome and atop Nanos all at the same time – like a miracle man.
-
Although we knew it was impossible, it was what we thirsted for.
-
In the beginning the Partisans were just a small band, but we made their strength out to be that of an entire troop.
-
These were the dreamy visions of the resistance.
