Printed material
Printed propaganda of partisan press played important role in resistance against German occupying forces. The need for the Slovene written language was all the greater due to many years of Italian fascist pressures in Idrija and surrounding areas. Partizanski dnevnik ('Partisan's Daily') was the only daily newspaper in occupied Europe printed by a resistance organisation. It was published regularly until the end of the war in a daily edition of 4000 to 7000 copies. All together some 874,000 copies of the newspaper were distributed all around Slovenia via couriers that were in life danger if discovered.
Equipment and conspiracy
Supporters of the partisans bought electric printing machine in Milano dismantled it and sent it secretly in parts to Slovenia Partisan Printing Shop, so in chain of couriers so no connection between them could be established and nobody, except last of the chain knew where printing shop was. If somebody by accident ran into printing shop, person had to remain there until end of the war or be shot. Despite frequent armed struggles in vicinity of the printing shop, Germans never found it.
Establishment has several cabins, electrical power station, engine room for printing, kitchen, canteen, a composing room, and a bookbindery. Printing machines can still be operational.
