Killings like these is what communists and their commanded partisans in the WW2 Independent State of Croatia did to Croatian soldiers, intellectuals, aristocracy and other civilians including women and children after the Croatian regime wanted to surrender to the British in Austria when it was obvious that Germany was falling and that Croatia would be overrun by the Soviets. I don't condone war crimes conducted by Croatia of that time, I fully condemn them (especially killings of civilians who were not communist or chetnik rebels, however I am sure there was much less of such people than claimed by post-WW2 communist historiography and many modern Serbian historians). Every couple of weeks or months we hear about another location found in Slovenia or Croatia filled by communist victims. People are not aware of this on a global level.

P. S. The British didn't want to take Croatian and other Yugoslav refugees and left all the soldiers and civilians to be managed by the communists. They force marched and killed many of soldiers and civilians like dogs.
