As World War Two ended in Europe, thousands of Croatian soldiers, civilians, and refugees fleeing the advancing Yugoslav Partisans surrendered to British forces in southern Austria near the town of Bleiburg. Over the following days, the British turned them over to Tito's Partisans—a decision that led to execution marches, mass graves, and decades of silence. This episode traces the Bleiburg tragedy from the final Axis collapse through the forced repatriations, examining the difficult question of who bore responsibility and why the event remains a raw wound in Croatian memory. We discuss the role of British commander General Patrick Scott, the ambiguous orders from Allied headquarters, the Partisan 'death marches' that followed, and the postwar Yugoslav government's refusal to acknowledge the killings. The episode also touches on the Maclennan Commission's partial investigation and the long denial until the 1990s when mass graves were finally excavated. Without taking sides in an ongoing historical and political debate, Lucas and Luna unpack the facts, the controversies, and the human cost of one of Europe's least-known postwar atrocities. #Bleiburg #Yugoslavia #WorldWarTwo #Croatia #Tito #Partisans #Ustasha #Repatriation #DeathMarches #MassGraves #BritishArmy #PatrickScott #MaclennanCommission #Austria #1945 #Postwar #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
