THE PLACES OF PERISHING AND BURIAL OF SOLDIERS AND CIVILIANS DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR IN THE COMMUNE KRIVI PUT, THE CONTRY OF SENJ
ANTE GLAVIČIĆ
Sažetak
The author describes military and political conditions during the Second World War in the wider region of Senj. In accordance with gathered pieces of information, based on statements made by numerous examinees, the author lists and displays some twenty places where soldiers of various Croatian formations and innocent civilians, who happened to come accross, died (fairly often they were killed) and were buried. The lives of some three hundred people were violently interrupted and buried either in single or mass graves (e.g. 84 people at Likrovac) in the war storms in those places. It goes without saying that the number of deaths was the biggest in the course of April/May 1945. One part of them died in actions around 9/10 April when partisan formations, by fighting through the defense of Ustashas and Domobrans, gained complete control of the wider region of Senj. But, the greatest number was simply killed by shooting, some of them very brutaly, without any legal proceedings or by a prompt and trumped-up proceedings.
