Description of the event:
On 2 July 1942, a German soldier accidentally shot himself in the leg. At the German gendarmerie, he claimed that partisans had shot him. The next day, at about 6 o'clock in the morning, they were taken to the gramoznica, where the monument now stands, five men half-dressed, and they were shot on the spot.
The Gestapo demanded hostages first from the commander of the gendarmerie post in Podbrezje, but he refused to cooperate. The Gestapo had more luck with the Kovoski municipal commissioner. He went on his own to show the houses from which the Germans were to take the hostages.
The memorial was erected by the local committee of the ZB NOV Podbrezje and unveiled in October 1960.
