ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses mental (including emotional) predispositions and states and their causes. The subjects of description are inter alia respect, feelings of power and superiority over civilians, joy and sorrow, hatred, fear and anxiety, stress, exhaustion, loneliness, suspicion, as well as betrayal and death, and fatigue and hunger. It is important in what way these mental states translated into behaviours and what results they brought. The partisans always had an ever-present feeling of being betrayed, which impacted on their attitudes, behaviour and emotions.
