Sidih https://sidih.si Pančur, Andrej Nadzor nad idrijskim rudnikom je bil za Nemce zaradi pomena živega srebra v vojni industriji strateškega pomena. Vojna je sicer povzročila upad proizvodnje, na kar so vplivali letalski napadi in partizanske sabotaže. Mobilizacija Idrijčanov in odhodi v partizane so krizo še dodatno poglobili. Leta 1945 so z živim srebrom napolnili le 4.100 jeklenk. Na fotografiji goreči rudniški obrat po zavezniških zračnih napadih pomladi leta 1945. Since mercury is highly significant for war industries, having control over the mine in Idrija was of strategic importance to the Germans. The war, however, did cause a drop in production, mostly due to Partisan sabotages and air raids. The crisis was made even worse by the mobilisations of the locals and their joining the Partisans. Only 4,100 flasks were filled with mercury in 1945. The photograph depicts one of the mine buildings burning, which was caused by Allied air raids in the spring of 1945.
