On the basis of archive sources, the author deals with the formation of the Provincial
Liberation Front Committee for Gorenjska. This Committee was established in December
1942, independently of the Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of Slovenia for
Gorenjska (PCCPS), by one of its members and some businessmen. It operated until Autumn
1943. It was never recognized by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of
Slovenia (CCCPS), which disagreed with its composition and political orientation. From the
social class viewpoint the Central and Regional Committees of the Communist Party of
Slovenia regarded its members as unreliable allies. Consequently, they sought to prevent
their further independent political activity by limiting it to the material and financial
support of the National Liberation Movement. The Committee's political interest was
focused above all on the end of the war and the seizure of power, while the armed struggle
against the occupier was of secondary importance. The liaison between the Committee and
the chief of the Gestapo in Gorenjska proved fatal for most of its members.
