LA RESISTENZA NON PARTIGIANA CONTRO L'OCCUPATORE IN TERRITORIO SLOVENO. IL CASO DELLA FAMIGLIA NOBILE DEI MAASBURG E DEI SUOI PARENTI. (Italian)

This article is a case study on a member of Austrian Resistance Movement O5, Baron Nikolaus von Maasburg, and his relatives. Nikolaus and his wife Countess Christiane de Ceschi a Santa Croce lived during WWII in their Castle Bizeljsko where they kept a radio station. With its help they were contacting British intelligence. They were a part of the non-partisan resistance movement against Nazism in Slovenia. Nevertheless, they supported partisans in weapons, munition, food provisions, and horses and paid taxes. In the castle they were hiding Slovene families and a Jewish friend, in spite of the fact that they had two small children. In the castle they held meetings with other Slovenian aristocrats as Windisch-Graetz and Attems as well as Count Georg von Thun and Hohenstein, a member of the Austrian resistance movement from Vienna. Six family members, even though one of them was a partisan and they all supported partisans with money, medicine, weapons, including the most eminent amongst them prince Gottlieb von Windisch-Graetz, were killed by the political secret military service Ozna, later known as Udba in 1945 or 1946. The article discusses their resistance and life after World War Two. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Il contributo è il risultato di un lavoro basato su fonti, letteratura primaria e secondaria, e un'analisi delle più recenti conoscenze scientifiche. Si occupa di quel segmento della storia recente dell'Europa centrale al quale la disciplina in Slovenia finora non ha prestato molta attenzione, al contrario dell'estero, dove dalla caduta del muro di Berlino nel 1989 è oggetto di studi approfonditi. Il contributo presenta il caso dell'insurrezione della famiglia nobile dei Maasburg e dei suoi parenti contro i nazionalsocialisti e i fascisti in territorio sloveno durante la Seconda guerra mondiale, anche in cooperazione con i partigiani. Sebbene non si siano mai compromessi politicamente e non abbiano collaborato con i nazionalsocialisti e i fascisti nella Jugoslavia occupata, alla fine della guerra i membri della casa dei Maasburg e i loro parenti sono stati espropriati, e sei di lor o uccisi.

Prispevek je rezultat dela z viri, primarno in sekundarno literaturo ob upoštevanju najnovejših znanstvenih izsledkov. Obravnava tisti segment srednjeevropske polpretekle zgodovine, ki mu stroka pri nas do sedaj ni posvečala veliko pozornosti, na tujem pa poglobljeno od padca berlinskega zidu 1989. V našem primeru je to upor plemiške družine Maasburg in sorodnikov proti nacionalsocialistom in fašistom na Slovenskem med II. svetovno vojno, tudi v sodelovanju s partizani. Kljub politični nekompromitiranosti in nesodelovanju z nacionalnimi socialisti in fašisti v okupirani Jugoslaviji so bili rodbina Maasburg in sorodniki po koncu II. svetovne vojne razlaščeni, šest članov družine pa pobitih.
