Illegal Printing Press of Graphic Department »B« of the Provincial Technic of the Communist Party of Slovenia for Upper Carniola

Summary/Abstract: The partisan illegal press got a new push after the collapse of illegal printing works in Ljubljana after the capitulation of Italy when from the liberated towns of the then Province of Ljubljana printing machines with the necessary outfit and material were taken to the free woods of Slovenia. This decision was important because after the German offensive in the autumn 1943 these towns were occupied by Germans who made these towns their stable strongholds. In the upper parts of Slovenia (Gorenjsko) where the German foe particularly oppressed our Slovene population the leadership of the liberation movement felt a peculiar necessity to encourage by printed word the resistance of the people against the occuppier, and to found therefore his own illegal printing press. The organisation of this illegal press was entrusted by the Provincial Committee of the CPS and the Provincial Committee of the Front of Liberation for Gorenjsko to the experienced and skilled partisan technician Edo Bregar-Don, who succeeded in short time to organise in the free woods of the Poljana and Selce valleys three illegal printing works, which depended directly from the graphic department »B« of the Provincial technic CPS for Gorenjska which linked the whole organisation and managed all the illegal presses and technics in Gorenjska.
