Plebiscitne akcije Osvobodilne fronte v letih 1941—1942
Plebiscite Actions of Liberation Front in 1941-1942

Summary/Abstract: On the initiative of Communist Party of Slovenia, the Slovene people's Liberation Front organized four plebiscite actions between October 1941 and February 1942: on the occasion of certain memorial days, Liberation Front called the Slovenes to leave the streets and all public places between 7 and 8 p. m., as a protest against German, Italian and Hungarian occupation of the Slovene territory. The Slovenes obeyed the call. The »hour of silence« kept on those occasions clearly showed whom the great majority of the popnlation sided with. Besides that, the population showed its attachment to Liberation Front and demonstrated against the occupier and the reactionaries by strewing the streets with thousands and thousands of leaflets and small Slovene flags, writing mottoes and drawing signs on the walls and by acts of sabotage. Liberation Front began with those actions at the time of its first rising, notwithstanding the fact that the Axis States were then at the summit of their power. Those deeds were a great moral help to the Partisan's army in Slovenia.
