Jelovica med drugo svetovno vojno
Jelovica during World War II
Jelovica je bila med drugo svetovno vojno partizanski prostor, od tod ime partizanska Jelovica. Na severnem robu Jelovice spomeniki označujejo začetek oboroženega upora proti okupatorju: ustanovitev Cankarjevega bataljona 5. avgusta 1941 je praznik Občine Radovljica.
Prva večja bitka partizanov Cankarjevega bataljona z nemškim okupatorjem je bila med 9. in 11. januarjem 1942 v Dražgošah. Osem obeležij in spominska soba v Dražgošah pričajo o devetih padlih partizanih, 41 domačinih, ki so jih Nemci postrelili iz maščevanju za 28 svojih padlih, in 81 interniranih vaščanih. V drugi večji bitki, spopadu na Mošenjski planini, kamor so se umaknili partizani, je 13. januarja 1942 padlo 12 borcev. Največ mrtvih je bilo v nemških hajkah avgusta in septembra 1942 ter junija 1944. Usoden je bil Spopad na Lipniški planini 9. septembra 1942, ko so Nemci pobili 28 borcev.
Na Jelovici se je zadrževalo več partizanskih enot: Cankarjev bataljon, udarna brigada France Prešeren, brigada Janka Premrla - Vojka, udarna brigada Ivana Gradnika, brigada Simona Gregorčiča, Jeseniško-bohinjski odred ter kurirji kurirskih postaj. Poleg Dražgoš januarja 1942 so Nemci 27. februarja 1944 požgali tudi vas Jamnik. Maja 1942 so na Martinčku pobili 12 partizanskih ranjencev. Skupaj je bilo na planoti med partizani okrog 140 žrtev, v bližini naselij po obronkih Jelovice pa še okrog 90.[1] Padle so pokopavali na kraju smrti, po vojni so jih 72 prekopali v Grobišče padlih na Jelovici v Grajskem parku v Radovljici, druge pa v grobišča in družinske grobove v domačih krajih. Od 72 okostij v radovljiški grobnici je 29 z imenom, 43 pa je neidentificiranih. Za polovico od skupaj blizu 300 jeloviških žrtev ni podatka o pokopu. Za posmrtne ostanke pogrešanih se ne ve. Vsakoletne komemoracije so ob spomeniku v Dražgošah (po poteh partizanske Jelovice), na Vodiški planini, Lipniški planini, na Jamniku, pri partizanski tehniki Meti, pri spomeniku narodnemu heroju Lojzetu Kebetu in še kje.

During World War II, Jelovica was a partisan area, hence the name Partisan Jelovica. On the northern edge of Jelovica, monuments mark the beginning of the armed uprising against the occupiers: the formation of the Cankar Battalion on August 5, 1941, is a municipal holiday of Radovljica.
The first major battle between the Cankar Battalion and the German occupiers occurred from January 9 to 11, 1942, in the village of Dražgoše. Eight memorials and a memorial room in Dražgoše bear witness to the nine fallen partisans, 41 locals, shot by the Germans in revenge for 28 of their own fallen, and 81 interned villagers. In another major battle, the clash on Mošenjska planina, where the partisans had retreated, 12 fighters were killed on January 13, 1942. The highest number of deaths occurred during German raids in August and September 1942 and June 1944. The clash on Lipniška planina on September 9, 1942, was fatal, as the Germans killed 28 fighters.
Several partisan units crossed Jelovica: the Cankar Battalion, the France Prešeren assault brigade, the Janko Premrl – Vojko brigade, the Ivan Gradnik assault brigade, the Simon Gregorčič brigade, the Jesenice-Bohinj detachment, and the couriers from various courier stations were also stationed on Jelovica. In addition to Dražgoše in January 1942, the Germans also burned down the village of Jamnik on February 27, 1944. In May 1942, they killed 12 wounded partisans on Martinček. In total, there were around 140 partisan victims on the plateau and around 90 more on the slopes near the settlements. The fallen were buried at the site of their death. After the war, 72 of them were reburied in the Burial ground in Grajski Park in Radovljica; the others were brought to the cemeteries and family graves of their hometowns. Of the 72 skeletons in the Radovljica tomb, 29 have names, while 43 remain unidentified. There is no information about the burial for half of the almost 300 victims from Jelovica. The remains of the missing ones are unknown. In January, an annual commemoration is held at the monument in Dražgoše, and traditional walks are organised along the paths frequented by the Jelovica partisans. Once a year, commemorations also take place on Vodiška planina, Lipniška planina, Jamnik, at the partisan press site Meta, at the monument to the national hero Lojze Kebe in Jamnik, and elsewhere.
