Unmarked graves

Fabci is the site of two unmarked graves from the end of the Second World War. The Church Grave (Slovene: Grob pri cerkvi) is located behind the church. It contains the remains of a Croatian farmhand from Grobnik named Matija, who was shot by German troops while fleeing.[3] The Hbt Grave (Grob Hbt) is located about 300 meters (980 ft) southeast of the church. It contains the remains of a German soldier from the 97th Corps that was killed at the beginning of May 1945.[4]

gollark: No, it looks more like the HF DALL-E Mini demo.
gollark: You could buy land. You would not be recognized as a country.
gollark: Oh, is that DALL-E Mini? Cool.
gollark: Forming a country is probably the wrong approach, since you won't.
