Abstract
The article represents organization of the Croatian State Railroad (Hrvatske državne željeznice) of the Independent State of Croatia (Nezavisna Država Hrvatska) given in the approapriate context. Authorities relevant for the railroad traffic, especially particular ministries, are higlighted: the Ministry of Croatian Home Guard (Ministarstvo hrvatskog domobranstva), the Ministry of Traffic and Public Works (Ministarstvo prometa i javnih radova), the Ministry of the Interior (Ministarstvo unutarnjih poslova), and the Ministry of Crafts, Industry and Trade (Ministarstvo obrta, veleobrta i trgovine). Particular attention is given to the organization of the Ministry of Traffic and Public Works, parts of which were, in the period from the June 24, 1941 to the end of the World War II in 1945, the Croatian Railroad's national bureaus at Zagreb and Sarajevo. There are also parts of the minister of traffic and public works, mr. Himlija Bešlagić's speech on status of the state railroad, given at the VII session of the Croatian State Parliament (Hrvatski državni sabor), on February 26, 1942. The Society of Railroad Dunav-Sava-Jadran (Društvo željeznica Dunav-Sava-Jadran), earlier named the Society of the South Railroad (Društvo Južnih željeznica), which constructed the very first railway line in Croatia, passing through Međimurje (Pragersko/Čakovec-Kotoriba), is mentioned as well. A way of protection of the railroad traffic in the Independent State of Croatia from the constant sabotages is also given.
