Archive of Documents and Personal Correspondence of Major John A F Ennals Intelligence Corps, 1st Secretary General of the World Federation of United Nations Associations, the archive includes a number of letters written to him and by him in both an official and personal capacity. The documents relate to pre war activity detailing the troubles in the Baltic states and a typed account written by Ennals on the Russian Occupation of Bessarabia and the treatment of the Jewish people by the Soviets. Other documents include a typed letter from the Spanish Medical Aid Committee thanking him for the offer to drive ambulances through France into Spain during the Spanish Civil War, other documents relate to his time serving in Yugoslavia pre war, documents relating to him running as Labour candidate for Walsall. Also amongst the archive is a typed account of his service during WW2 which states he was I Geneva when war broke out, he returned to the UK and become a ARP Ambulance driver in Walsall. He goes on to state, “in April 1940 I was sent through Paris and Trieste to the university town of Jassy on the borders of Rumania and Soviet Union. I happened to be visiting the province of Bukovina when the Russians entered Bessarabia and Bukovina a few weeks later and I remained on Soviet territory for three weeks before returning to give the only first-hand report on the conditions in Soviet Occupied territory available to the West, since I was the only western observer of the occupation.” He goes on to state that he was then sent to Yugoslavia where he became a correspondent for the Daily Herald. “During the winter 1940-41, I visited Bulgaria, Greece and Turkey and returned to Belgrade in time to witness the coup d’etat which overthrew the pro-Axis Yugoslav government in March 1941, the murderous bombing of Belgrade ten days later and the invasion of Yugoslavia by Germany and Italy. I started the war in Yugoslavia as a War Correspondent but finished it as a member of the British Military Mission, on behalf of which I arranged with Allied GHQ in Cairo to fly out the Government and the King of Yugoslavia. A few days later I was captured on the Dalmatian coast by the Italians and was held prisoner in Albania and Italy, where I acted as camp interpreter and edited the camp magazine, until I was exchanged and sent to Madrid where I was engaged in Military duties concerned with the escape route from France to Gibraltar”. Ennals arrived back in the UK and worked at the Foreign Office, his responsibilities were to work with the Royal Yugoslavian Government and also radio contact with the HQ of General Mihailovitch and Marshal Tito. He later was released from this service and served with the British Army in North Africa and Italy, later being dropped by parachute into German occupied Yugoslavia where he was appointed the Allied Liaison Officer with the Yugoslavian Partisans. Document continues with details of his post war service with the United Nations. A very interesting archive of documents to a very important member of the United Nations from its initial creation.
