20.500.12556/DKUM-46160 FRANC VIDRIH IN SPOMINI NA USODO PRIMORSKIH PADALCEV FRANC VIDRIH AND MEMOIRS OF THE LITTORAL PARATROOPERS DESTINY Britanci so svoje obveščevalno delovanje med drugo svetovno vojno želeli razširiti tudi v najsevernejši del Jugoslavije, se pravi v Slovenijo. Glavni britanski tajni službi, ki sta pošiljali svoje agente na misije v Jugoslavijo in Slovenijo sta bili Special Operation Executive (SOE – Uprava za posebne operacije) in Inter-Services Liaison Department (ISLD), ki je delovala v okviru Military Intelligence 6 (MI6). Organizacija SOE je na začetku največjo pozornost usmerila v južno Jugoslavijo, saj so bila tam glavna vodstva vsejugoslovanskih oblik upora. Sčasoma pa so se začela pojavljati namigovanja, da bi bilo najbolje konkretneje delovati tudi na Hrvaškem in še bolj v Sloveniji. Britanci so sprva razpolagali z zelo skopimi informacijami iz lastnih virov o dejanskem dogajanju v okupirani Jugoslaviji. Za Britance so bili zato še zlasti zanimivi primorski Slovenci, ki so jih zavezniki ujeli kot italijanske vojake v Afriki. Te so jugoslovanski častniki novačili za kraljevo vojsko, zanje pa so se zanimale tudi britanske tajne službe v taboriščih za vojne ujetnike. Izmed ujetnikov so izbrali peščico primernih kandidatov, ki so v Kairu in Palestini opravili tečaje za posebne operacije. V raznih misijah so jih poslali na zasedeno slovensko ozemlje, od koder so Britanci pričakovali poročanje. Velika večina se jih je po pristanku pridružila partizanom. Kljub temu da so se iskreno borili proti nacifašizmu, so nekateri izmed njih proti koncu vojne oziroma po njej postali žrtve likvidacij obveščevalnih služb komunističnih oblasti. The British wanted to expand their intelligence activity during the Second World War in the northernmost part of Yugoslavia, i.e. in Slovenia. The main British intelligence services that used to send their agents to the missions into Yugoslavia and Slovenia were Special Operation Executive (SOE) and Inter-Services Liaison Department (ISLD), the latest operating in Military Intelligence 6 (MI6). At the beginning, SOE was focused on Southern Yugoslavia, since it was the centre of pan Yugoslav resistance movements. Eventually, the rumours appeared that it would be more efficient to operate in Croatia and even more in Slovenia. The British initially had access to very limited information from their own sources about the actual events in occupied Yugoslavia. Therefore, they were particularly interested in littoral Slovenians that were captured as Italian soldiers in Africa by the allies. These prisoners were being recruited to work in the Royal Yugoslav Army by Yugoslav officers and they also attracted the attention of British secret services in the camps for the prisoners of war. The latest chose some appropriate candidates to participate in the courses for special operations. Expecting reports, the British sent them to the occupied Slovenian territory. Upon landing, most of these paratroopers joined the partisans. Despite their sincere fight against the Nazi fascism some of them became victims of the communist secret services liquidations towards the end of the war and after it. zgodovina druga svetovna vojna padalci britanske misije SOE ISLD partizani history Second World War paratroopers British missions SOE ISLD partisans true true false [J.
