Civilian Victims of World War II and Post-War Violence in the Slovene Litoral (10 June 1940 - February 1946)

Summary/Abstract: The structure and number of World War II victims are currently best explored in the Primorska region (Litoral), since all relevant archive materials available in Slovenia have been taken into account. The following article is a deliberation about the processes influencing the number of civilian victims of war (5121). Fascism, anti-fascism in the Primorska regioft and the attitude of Slovenians to collaboration with Italians had a detrimental effect on the slow expansion of local collaboration and also influenced the development of the partisan movement, which after the capitulation of Italy turned into the strongest political movement in this region. Partisans movement led by the communists and they recognized the importance of the Primorska region) thus they established more of a moderate attitude to their opponents here. All this was reflected in a smaller number of victims of the conflict "among Slovenians" in comparison to those SJovenian regions where the partisan movement was well organised and more active.
