Abstract
Based on verbal evidences of the war event partakers and the respective documents gained accordingly, the author describes military and political circumstances which took place on the territory of Senj during WVV2 and after that. The author refers to some 50 places where mainly the soldiers of the armed forces of the Indipendent State of Croatia (NDH) lost their lives or were killed and buried. Among then was also one smaller number of partizans and civils from Kozice and Sibinj (commune of Novi Vinodolski),Senj, Sveti Juraj, Lukovo, Jablanac, Prizna and the commune of Karlobag. The majority perished between the 7th-15th April 1945. This article is an important contribution to the researches on developments after WW2. Those were the times when publishing of such facts could produce only troubles. Namely, the communistic system insisted upon presenting the war of the national liberation free from any blame, with positive aspects only.
