Sanitetna služba in zdravniki v okviru Slovenskega domobranstva
Medical Services and Doctors in the Slovene Home Guard

Summary/Abstract: In this paper, the author attempts to reconstruct, as precisely as possible, the basic features of medical care for the wounded and sick members of the Slovene Home Guard (Domobranci), the anti-revolutionary and collaborationist formation which operated in the Ljubljana Province during the German occupation. The entire medical service of the Home Guard was formally organised and supervised by the medical section of its headquarters, although the more important decisions on staffing were taken by the superior German headquarters. As only fragments of the archive material on the medical section are preserved, the author has built his reconstruction on secondary sources, using the surviving Home Guard related material, oral sources and the available literature. Given that many doctors were engaged in the Partisan movement, the author has also given attention to those who worked within the Slovene Home Guard.
