GOLO 35 - memorial plaque commemorating the establishment of the 10th SNOUB - Ljubljanska

EŠD: NI!

A stone plaque measuring 0.50 x 0.60 m and approximately 1.80 m from the ground, with an engraved inscription, is attached to the façade of the house, on the street side, between the windows, to the left of the entrance door. It was unveiled on August 30, 1953.

Two years ago, some construction work was carried out on the house, but it did not significantly alter its appearance as it was when the Ljubljana Brigade was established in 1943.

The Tenth SNOUB (Slovenian People's Liberation Assault Brigade) "LJUBLJANSKA" (assault from February 27, 1945, according to the order of the General Staff of the Slovenian People's Liberation Army and Partisan Movement), was established by Ljubljana residents who arrived on the liberated territory near Igu after the capitulation of Italy (according to B. Lahu: 10. Ljubljanska Brigade).

The brigade had four battalions and 1,033 fighters. On its combat journey, lasting 607 days, it covered 3,500 km and fought in 158 larger and smaller battles, up to the final breakthrough into Ljubljana on May 9, 1945 (according to Damjan Guštin - Ljubljanska Brigade, 10th Slovenian People's Liberation Assault Brigade).
