Ratomir Milikić, PRILOZI ZA PROUČAVANJE SRPSKO-POLJSKIH ODNOSA U DRUGOM SVETSKOM RATU KROZ MEMOARSKU GRAĐU NA SRPSKOM JEZIKU

DOI: 10.29362/2022.2619.mil.193-214

Ovaj rad je pretežno zasnovan na istraživanju memoarskih i dnevničkih zapisa dostupnih na srpskom jeziku, a koji se tiču saradnje Srbije i Poljske tokom Drugog svetskog rata. Cilj rada nije da rekonstruiše sva takva mesta, već da pruži nove priloge za proučavanje bilateralnih odnosa u tom teškom periodu za obe zemlje čija se teritorija našla pod okupacijom. U radu je dat sumarni pregled pojedinih pitanja od značaja za istoriju Poljske i Jugoslavije koja su razmatrana u dnevniku diplomate Kraljevine Jugoslavije i šefa kabineta predsednika jugoslovenske Vlade u nekoliko mandata, Koste St. Pavlovića, tekstu „Jugoslovenska vlada i Draža Mihailović“ koji je profesor, diplomata i ministar Radoje L. Knežević u nastavcima objavljivao u emigrantskom časopisu „Poruka“ tokom 1953. i 1954. kao i u memoarskoj knjizi Marka Milunovića Pipera Sa kapetanom Našom u Beogradu. Isto tako, korišćeni su dokumenti iz Arhiva Jugoslavije u Beogradu, kao i memoarsko delo britanskog obaveštajnog oficira Džaspera Rutama, Pucanj u prazno, koje je objavljeno na srpskom jeziku. Autor je želeo da kroz ovaj rad predstavi neke delove srpske memoarske građe koji svedoči o bliskosti i sličnosti istorijskih sudbina dve nacije u Drugom svetskom ratu. Pored istaknutih poljskih ličnosti koje se u radu pominju, kao što su general Sikorski ili predsednik Poljske Vladislav Račkjevič, pažnju zavređuju i pojedine, javnosti manje poznate i nepravedno zapostavljene ličnosti, poput kapetana poljske vojske Juzefa Maćonga (Józef Maciąg), alias Mihala Jakubovskog-Levandovskog (Michał Jakubowski Łewandowski) odnosno Kapetana Neša, kome je u inače nevelikoj srpskoj emigrantskoj literaturi, posvećena i jedna cela knjiga.

Ratomir Milikić, CONTRIBUTIONS TO RESEARCH INTO SERBIAN-POLISH RELATIONS DURING THE WORLD WAR II ILLUSTRATED BY SAMPLES OF SERBIAN ÉMIGRÉ PUBLISHING

The paper is predominantly based on analysis of memoirs and diaries in Serbian language as written sources for an exploration of the cooperation between Serbia and Poland during the World War II. The main aim of this paper is not to reconstruct each and every example of that cooperation, but to present new contributions to the study of their bilateral relations during that difficult period for both Poland and Serbia/Yugoslavia when their territories were occupied and their governments forced to go into exile. Author’s intention was to demonstrate similarities and proximities of historical destinies of the two countries. Therefore, the paper contains an overview of several historical issues that occupy an important place in the diaries of Yugoslav diplomat and chief of cabinet to several Yugoslav prime ministers at that time, Kosta St. Pavlović, as well as in the scholarly paper “Yugoslav Government and Drazha Mihailovich” written by professor, diplomat and former minister Radoje L. Knežević, that had been published in Serbian émigré opinion magazine “Poruka” during 1953 and 1954. Along these same lines, the paper provides an overview of a book devoted to Polish captain Józef Maciąg. a.k.a Michał Jakubowski Łewandowski, who as a member of a British military mission and General Sikorski’s envoy stayed in the territory of Serbia after 1943. The book Sa kapetanom Našom u Beogradu (With Captain Nash in Belgrade) is a private émigré edition by Marko Milunović Piper. The author also analyses materials from the Archives of Yugoslavia in Belgrade, along with the book “Miss-Fire”, an autobiographical account by Jasper Rootham of his wartime experiences in Yugoslavia. Rootham was an intelligence officer during the war and his book was published in 1946. Serbian translation was published in 2004 under the title Pucanj u prazno.
