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 nemškemu okupatorju: ustanovitev Cankarjevega bataljona 5. avgusta 1941 je praznik Občine Radovljica.
Prvi spopad partizanov Cankarjevega bataljona z nemškim okupatorjem je bil 8. avgusta 1941 na Lipniški planini, prva večja bitka pa 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 maščevanja za 28 svojih padlih, in 81 interniranih vaščanih. V 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 borilo več partizanskih enot: Cankarjev bataljon, udarna brigada France Prešeren, brigada Janka Premrla - Vojka, udarna brigada Ivana Gradnika, brigada Simona Gregorčiča, Jeseniško-bohinjski odred, 31. divizija 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 in v bližini naselij po obronkih Jelovice med partizani okrog 250 padlih, skupaj s civilisti pa je bilo žrtev okrog 320.[1] Padle so pokopavali na kraju smrti, po vojni pa so jih prekopali v grobišča in družinske grobove v domačih krajih. V grobišču padlih na Jelovici v Grajskem parku v Radovljici je 29 okostij z imenom, 43 pa je neidentificiranih. Za polovico od jeloviških žrtev ni zanesljivega podatka o pokopu. Vsakoletne komemoracije so ob spomeniku v Dražgošah, na Vodiški planini, Lipniški planini, na Jamniku, pri partizanski tehniki Meti, pri spomeniku narodnemu heroju Lojzetu Kebetu in še kje. Po poteh partizanske Jelovice je ime planinskim pohodom ob obletnici dražgoške bitke.

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 German occupiers: the formation of the Cankar Battalion on August 5, 1941, is a municipal holiday of Radovljica.
The first battle between the Cankar Battalion and the German occupiers occurred on August 8, 1941 at Lipniška planina. The first major battle took place 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 fought on 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, 31st Division of Yugoslav Partisans. 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, around 250 partisans were killed on the plateau and in the settlements on the slopes of Jelovica, while the total number of victims, including civilians, was around 320. The fallen were buried at the site of their death. After the war, they were reburied in military burial grounds of their hometowns or in their family graves. In the Radovljica military tomb, 29 skeletons have names, while 43 remain unidentified. There is no trustworthy information about the burial for half of the victims from Jelovica. 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 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.
