*The killing continued after the war, as Tito's victorious forces took revenge on their real and perceived enemies. British forces in Austria turned back tens of thousands of fleeing Yugoslavs. Estimates range from 30,000 to 55,000 killed between spring and autumn 1945.

It seems that the word ''repatriated'' does not reflect the truth of the matter. The repatriation is the infamous ''Way of the Cross'' and ''Bleiburg Massacres''.

It seems that the word ''repatriated'' does not reflect the truth of the matter. Is Wikipedia stating that the vicitims were repatriated via the infamous ''Way of the Cross'' and the Bleiburg Massacres?
