PROTOCOLS FROM THE MEETINGS OF THE VUKOVAR USTASHA YOUTH CAMP (July 1942 - April 1943)

Summary/Abstract: The protocols from the meetings of the Vukovar Ustasha Youth Camp are significant historical sources giving an insight into the activities and operations of the local organization of the Ustasha Youth within the Independent State of Croatia. Even though this involves a rather short period of time, a few months only, it is possible to reconstruct the dynamics of the implementation of directives from the centre (Zagreb Ustasha Youth Command) as well as of the superior Headquarters of the Ustasha Youth Vuk I. The protocols present the scope of work and the problems the local organization of the Vukovar Ustasha Youth Camp had to face in its activities. The publishing of such sources allows us to draw comparisons between the successes as presented in propaganda, which can be read about in numerous newspapers of the Ustasha Youth, and the reality that presented obstacles to local officials of the Ustasha Youth. It is fairly certain that protocols of local organizations of the Ustasha Youth are kept in other archives as well; hence, this is a suggestion for others to publish these protocols and make them available to the interested scholarly community.
