20.500.12556/RUL-185686 Hudičev ples. Nemška ofenziva na osvobojenem ozemlju Žumberka in Bele krajine julija 1944 Devil's dance. German offensive in the liberated territory of Žumberak and Bela krajina in july 1944 Po kapitulaciji Italije septembra 1943 je Bela krajina postala osvobojeno ozemlje, na katerem se je začel odvijati pomemben del nacionalne zgodovine. Tu so se nastanili Glavni štab Narodnoosvobodilne vojske in partizanskih odredov Slovenije, Izvršni odbor Osvobodilne fronte in vrsta drugih inštitucij. Z namenom zatreti partizansko gibanje so Nemci in njihovi sodelavci izvedli nekaj posamičnih vdorov ter tako skušali ponovno vzpostaviti nadzor nad tem območjem. Ena od ofenziv na osvobojenem ozemlju Žumberka in Bele krajine se je začela 10. julija in je trajala do 17. julija 1944. V tem vdoru je bila prizadeta predvsem Metlika z okoliškimi kraji. Komisija pri Predsedstvu SNOS za ugotavljanje zločinov okupatorja in njegovih pomagačev je takoj po končanih bojih ugotavljala zločine sovražnika in popisovala škodo na podlagi pričevanj žrtev in drugih prič. Komisija je obiskala vse prizadete kraje, ogledala si je pogorišča, zaslišala veliko število prič, pri župnih uradih je dvignila mrliške liste o pomorjenih prebivalcih ter zdravnikom poslala poizvedbe o telesnih poškodbah. Med svojim delovanjem, ki je trajalo od 18. do 28. julija 1944, je med drugim ugotovila, da je napad izvedla vojska, ki ji je poveljeval komandant 1. kozaške konjeniške divizije – generalporočnik Helmuth von Pannwitz. Nemci so se kljub svoji nacistični ideologiji posluževali tudi t. i. azijatov, ki so bili po njihovem mnenju manjvredna rasa. V članku so predstavljeni nekateri dokumenti, dokumentarne fotografije, pričevanja, izvlečki iz zapisnikov, različni zapisi in odzivi na omenjeno ofenzivo. Predstavljena so tudi nekatera pričevanja še danes živečih očividcev takratnega dogajanja. After Italy's capitulation in September 1943, Bela krajina became liberated territory, marking the onset of a crucial chapter in national history. It housed the Main Headquarters of the National Liberation Army and Partisan Detachments of Slovenia, the Executive Committee of the Liberation Front, and various other institutions. To quell the partisan movement, German forces and their collaborators launched multiple incursions to regain control of the region. One such offensive targeted the liberated territory of Žumberk and Bela krajina, commencing on July 10 and lasting until July 17, 1944. Metlika and neighboring towns bore the brunt of this invasion. Immediately following the conflict's end, the Commission of the Presidency of the SNOS for the Establishment of the Crimes of the Occupier and his Auxiliaries documented enemy atrocities and assessed the damage based on victim and witness testimonies. The Commission extensively surveyed affected areas, inspected burial sites, heard numerous witnesses, obtained death certificates from parish offices for murdered residents, and sought medical reports on physical injuries. During its investigation from July 18 to 28, 1944, it determined that the assault was executed by the army under the command of Lieutenant-General Helmuth von Pannwitz, leader of the 1st Cossack Cavalry Division. Despite their Nazi ideology, the Germans employed individuals they considered racially inferior, such as Asiatics. The article presents some of the documents, documentary photographs, testimonies, extracts from records, various writings and reactions to the offensive. It also presents some eyewitness testimonies of those who are still alive today.
