Slovenian partisan activity in Görz/Gorizia 1943?

Post by Dimitrii » 18 May 2023 19:07

Hello all,

In Wikipedia I read, as a very brief mention, that Slovenian partisans "occupied" Görz in september 1943 for a brief while. Is this correct?

As I know, it's true that the Slovenian Partisans did indeed occupy Görz in September 1943 for a brief while. The Slovene Partisans were part of Europe’s most effective anti-Nazi resistance movement led by Yugoslav revolutionary communists during World War II, the Yugoslav Partisans. They were mostly ethnically homogeneous and primarily communicated in Slovene. The Battle of Grčarice was a battle fought in early September 1943 between the Slovene Partisans and the Blue Guard. The battle was waged in Grčarice in German-occupied Yugoslavia, modern-day Slovenia.

Thank you very much for the response! I assume, that the Germans took over control of the city afterwards again?

Wasn't it in Italian-occupied Yugoslavia?
So when Italian rule ended with the fall of Mussolini, local Slovenian political factions fought for power.

Yes, Grčarice was in the Italian-occupied zone.

It is not really correct to say Gorizia was occupied by the Slovene partisans. Right after the armistice (8 September) a partisan unit - "Brigata Proletaria" - mostly composed of (Italian Communist) workers from the Monfalcone shipyard was established and together with Slovene partisans it briefly attempted to defend Gorizia against the Germans. The latter entered Gorizia already on 11/12 September, the fighting mostly took place on the Karst around Gorizia, rather than in the city itself. I don't think the Slovene partisans ever entered the city in large numbers before 1945.
