ZSUZSANNA DOMOKOS SZÁLAI: POSTCARDS AND PICTURE POSTCARDS AT SOMOGY COUNTY ARCHIVES (THIRD PUBLICATION) The author undertakes the continuation of the source publication of World War I camp postcards published in the 2006 annual of the archives. In this work she presents the correspondence of the Kraxner family of Hoszhót, Zala County, during WWI. The first part contains the letters written by Bálint Kraxner, infantryman, the 48th infantry' regiment, during his service at the front, between 22nd August 1914 and 15th August 1916, to his wife, his sister Teréz, his brother Gyula and other people. The second part contains the camp postcards written by János Kraxner to his sister Teréz between 1st April and 25th July 1917. ZOLTÁN CZIRÓK: THE AIR SQUADRON OF KAPOSVÁR (1918-1919) The air squadron established shortly after the end of World War I in Kaposvár became ready for service only by the beginning of 1919. Under the Károlyi-government the squadron led by Captain Andor Kammerer carried out only propaganda activities and reconnaissance missions. At the same time they had to fight other problems: the airport was confined for space and it meant a constant source of danger and caused several accidents. In the spring of 1919 -probably for political reasons- the whole staff of officers got arrested. Despite all this, as far as it was possible, the squadron performed its duties. ANITA VONYÓ: THE INVENTORY OF THE MOVABLE PROPERTY OF ISTVÁN BOSKOVITS, JEWISH PHYSICIAN OF NEMESVID (1944) (SOURCE PUBLICATION) At the beginning of the 1930-ies a public health initiative, considered outstanding on a country-scale, emerged in Nemesvid. Two members of the Boskovits family, giving the local district physicians, proposed the plan of establishing a 4-bed private clinic, which failed through the cobwebs of the administration and the storms of history. Through the tragic life of István Boskovits, who played a more active role in the initiative, the process of the persecution of the Jews in Hungary is reflected. He was born an Israelite, but became Christian in 1919. The inventory of the district physician's movable properties was prepared in the spring of 1944 when the magistrates of the settlements had to report about the Jews living in their territory, of whose properties they took a detailed inventory after they had been removed from their place of residence. Despite the Boskovits family's former being converted to Christianity, according to Act XV 1941, better known as the third Jewish Law, they were qualified as Jews, were deported to Auschwitz and lost their lives there. LÁSZLÓ SZÁNTÓ: THE REPRISALS IN SOMOGY COUNTY FOLLOWING THE 1956 REVOLUTION, AND THE COLLECTION OF DATA OF THOSE SUFFERING THE REPRISALS The first part of the study processing the events of the reprisals in Somogy and the collection of personal data reviews the general political and legal circumstances of the retaliatory campaign -of a political motive- against the participants of the revolution, with special attention to the specialities in Somogy. Then the reader may learn the events happening in Somogy in their process and with their peculiarities. The events of the reprisals in the county lasting from the punitive measures carried out at once in Somogy as well, within the frame of the 4th November 1956 Soviet military intervention, to the closed legal proceedings in 1958-1959, fitted into the country-wide process. Mass arrests, then the brutal raids of the police squads were aimed not only at finding and punishing the participants of the revolution but also the terrorization and silencing the population. These
