During the Second World War, during the occupation of Slovenian territory, the Liberation front developed on slovenian soil, from which the partisan army grew. In collaboration with the German and Italian authorities, this was opposed by various groups, the most effective being the Slovenian Home Guard. In the midst of a fierce conflict that was partly reminiscent of the Civil War, both sides developed a powerful propaganda machine. Through the press, art, public rallies, photography, radio and posters, they legitimized their actions and criticized the other side. The diploma thesis focuses on partisan and Home Guard propaganda, especially those parts that relate to the relationship between both sides and tries to shed light on various ways of their contempt and reproach for eachother.
