| Dražgoška bitka. Območje Slovenije
je aprila leta 1941 napadel Nemški rajh, ki je bil vojaška supersila tistega
časa. Po delitvi slovenskega ozemlja je nemška vojska zasedla Gorenjsko,
Koroško in Štajersko s 800.000 slovenskega prebivalstva. Slovenci so se
odločili za samoobrambo in boj proti fašizmu in nacizmu in so se vojaško
organizirali v slovensko partizansko vojsko. Dražgoška bitka, ki se je
odvijala med 9. in 11. januarjem 1942, v vasi Dražgoše blizu Železnikov
na Gorenjskem, je bila prva bitka med drugo svetovno vojno, ko so se je
slovenska partizanska vojska - Cankarjev bataljon, odkrito bojevala proti
okupatorju. Slovenska partizanska vojska je bila tedaj slabo oborožena
in edina prednost je bilo poznavanje terena in strateški položaj na Bičkovi
skali. Kljub številčni in neprimerno boljši tehnični opremljenosti nemškega
okupatorja, je tridnevna bitka razbila mit o nepremagljivosti nemške vojske
in upočasnila genocid nad Slovenci. Bitka je tedaj pokazala, da slovenska
partizanska vojska še ni bila zrela za frontalno bojevanje, zato se vojaška
taktika usmerila v partizanski način bojevanja, vse do leta 1943, ko je
bila poražena Italija in je slovenska partizanska vojska pridobila vojaško
opremo in do maja 1945 osvobodila slovensko etnično ozemlje. |
The battle of Dražgoše. German Third Reich, which was the military
superpower of that time, attacked the territory of Slovenia in April 1941.
The German Army occupied the Slovenian regions of Upper Carniola, Carinthia,
Styria and the part of Lower Carniola with about 800.000 residents. Slovenians
had decided for self-defence and the fight against the Fascism and Nazism.
Slovenian Army was organized.
The Battle of Drazgose was nearby the Zelezniki in Upper Carniola region,
between ninth and eleventh January 1942. It was the first Slovenian frontal
battle (The Cankar battalion) in the Second World War against the Nazi
millitary division. The armament was very poor with no artillery and very
small number of machine guns. The only advance was strategic position on
"Bickova skala" (rock rising). Even the numerical superiority and the modern
armament of Nazis the frontal battle last three days. The myth of the Nazi
superiority was broken and the genocide was slow down.
The battle displayed that in that time Slovenian Army was not prepared
for a frontal battles so the military tactic moved to partisan tactic until
the year 1943 when Italy capitulated. Slovenian Army got the proper armament
and had liberated Slovenian ethnical territory until the May 1945. |
