The Death of the Communists in Maribor, Yugoslavia
At least 8,000 to 9,000 Slovenians were killed in this way as well as some Croatians and Montenegrin Chetniks. Bodies were also buried in shell holes, bomb craters and specially dug mass graves. One former Communist partisan who later fled Yugoslavia gave a graphic description of what it was like to work on one of these burial parties. According to eyewitnesses there was no discrimination between the victims. There was no questioning of the prisoners nor did any of them receive any kind of trial nor was there any selection made among them.
