del »SS-čet in policije«. To pomeni, da ne greza vojsko, temveč za (pomožne) SS in policijskeenote. In iz prisege enot SS smo tudi videli,da so zvestobo izrekali neposredno Hitlerju,kar so storili tudi slovenski domobranci.Privrženci domobranstva še vedno potvarjajoomenjeno besedilo (Samo Hubad, Večnopodtikanje, Demokracija, novembra 2002), sajtrdijo, da so prisegli »na slovensko zastavo inslovenski narod«, izpustili pa so tisti najboljkompromitirajoči del, ki govori o skupnemboju s »SS-četami in policijo« in celo Rupnikovosebni pripis »komunizmu kakor tudi njegovimzaveznikom«, na to mesto pa so naknadnovstavljene besede »na slovenskem ozemlju«.Tako se zgodovine ne da ponarejati …Res je samo to, kar je osebna zasluga generalaRupnika, da so domobranci prisegali tudiob slovenski zastavi in himni Naprej zastaveslave! Vendar – tudi ob nemški zastavi in himniter nemškem meču!Zgodovinarji in pričevalci so zbrali tudidruge dokaze o pravem pomenu domobranskeprisege. Gre predvsem za govor SS-generalaRösenerja pred prisego domobrancev 20. aprila1944, na Hitlerjev rojstni dan. Tedaj je poudaril,da je on osebno dne 24. 9. 1943 ukazalustanoviti Slovensko domobranstvo iz belogardističnihlegionarjev, da so jih Nemci izurili,oblekli in oborožili (ter plačevali) za skupenboj proti komunizmu in banditom (Slovenec,21. 4. 1944). Drugič so domobranci prisegli30. januarja 1945, na obletnico nacističnegaprevzema oblasti v Nemčiji.Ne gre pozabiti, da je SS-general Rösener1. 2. 1944 zapisal: »Slovensko domobranstvoje deželna formacija, kar pomeni iz Slovencevna italijanskem bojnem območju vzpostavljenaenota, ki mora izvajati čisto policijske naloge.Slovensko domobranstvo smo ustanovilina osnovi odredbe vrhovnega komisarja voperacijski coni Jadransko primorje. Te enoteso plačane iz sredstev vrhovnega komisarjaoz. naravnost iz italijanskih državnih sredstev.Vrhovni šef tega Slovenskega domobranstvaje vsakokratni višji vodja SS in policije.«Domobranci so bili tudi sodno podrejeni SS,vrhovni poveljnik SS in policije je bil reichsführerHeinrich Himmler. Torej ni šlo za nobenovzporedno slovensko »narodno« vojsko, temvečza pomožne SS in policijske enote. Vsemje navsezadnje tudi dobro znano, da domobranskipoveljniki niso mogli niti samostojnoand the Police, swore loyalty to Adolf Hitler – leaderof Greater Germany – in the struggle against partisans(bandits) and communism and their allies; asit is, for “their Slovenian homeland” (and also beforethe Slovenian and German flags) and as “part of afree Europe”, but in accordance with the Nazi model(pure Aryan if Slovenians also participate in SSunits)! In my opinion, the main emphasis lies in thepart saying that members of the Home Guard are an(auxiliary) part of “SS troops and the Police”, meaningthat the Home Guard was not an army but an(auxiliary) SS and Police unit! Also, from the oathof SS units we have seen that soldiers swore loyaltyto Hitler directly, which was also the case withSlovenian Home Guard members.Adherents of the Home Guard still falsify theabove mentioned text (Samo Hubad, Večno podtikanje,Demokracija, November 2002), claimingthat Home Guard members swore “to the Slovenianflag and the Slovenian nation”; they leave out themost compromising part regarding joint combat with“SS troops and the Police”, and even Rupnik’s personallyadded phrase “communism and their allies”,with the words “in the Slovenian territory” subsequentlyadded in this place. This, however, is not theway to rewrite history.The only truth is in the personal merit of GeneralRupnik who saw to Home Guard members also swearingto the Slovenian flag and the anthem Naprej zastaveslave (Forward, Flag of Glory)! However, thesoldiers also swore allegiance to the German flag, theGerman anthem and the German sword!Historians and witnesses have gathered otherevidence regarding the real meaning of the HomeGuard oath. This includes especially the speech ofSS General Rösener before the taking of the oath bySlovenian Home Guard members on 20 April 1944,on Hitler’s birthday, during which he emphasisedthat on 24 September 1943, he personally orderedthe establishment of the Slovenian Home Guard,made up of White Guard legionnaires whom theGermans trained, clothed and armed (as well aspaid) for joint combat against communism and thebandits (Slovenec, 21 April 1944). Home Guardmembers swore for the second time on 30 January1945, at the anniversary of the Nazi takeover ofpower in Germany.It should not be forgotten that on 1 February1944 SS General Rösener wrote: “Slovenian HomeGuard is a provincial formation, a unit formed ofSlovenians in the Italian combat area, whose dutyis implementing pure police tasks.
