Abstract
The Yugoslav communists’ intention to have a complete and radical reckoning with the enemy immediately at the end of World War II was contained in the order of the Interior Ministry of the Federal State of Croatia, July 6th 1945, that is of the Interior Ministry of the Democratic Federal Yugoslavia, May 18th 1945, concerning the obliteration of cemeteries and graves of the “occupier” and “enemies of the people” comprising the graves and headstones of German, Italian and Hungarian soldiers and Ustashas, Chetniks and Slovenian Home Guard. Preserved documents, contemporaries of the occurrences and the conditions in the cemeteries give evidence of the systematic implementation of the order to obliterate the cemeteries and graves of the “occupier” and “enemies of the people” in the territory of Slavonia and Syrmia as well.
