This is about Wikipedia's article on the Bleiburg Massacre.
Wikipedia's article Bleiburg massacre, is an article that reads as if it was written by the former Communist Part of Yugoslavia. It has a dated writing approach that is reminiscent of the propaganda of the former Communist Yugoslavia. The Yugoslav regime was desperate to keep the massacre a secret however this all changed after the break up of Yugoslavia. These events happened after the end of World War Two. It has been written that the massacre was a revenge against the war crimes that were committed by the Nazi element of the retreating Axis Forces. This is true, but it is only part of the picture. The large scale execution of people, is very similar to the Soviet Purges and the massacre of Polish troops by the Soviets.
The article has this one very dubious sentence:
"The vast majority of the refugees were returned to Yugoslavia and were repatriated as Yugoslav citizens via forced marches under inhumane conditions over long distances."
The key word is repatriated.
The European Public Hearing on “Crimes Committed by Totalitarian Regimes" stated:
(Please read: Titoism and Totalitarianism for information on the European Commission)
- The victims of these events were estimate to be 100 000.
- There were a large number of civilians.
- Many of the victims were also women.
- There were a large number of regular POW army units.
- Concentration and labour camps were established in Slovenia (a former republic of Yugoslavia) under Communist rule after the end of the war in Slovenia.
It seems that the word repatriated does reflect the truth of the matter.
