On 1 December 1942, Gestapo in Hlipovčnikovem jarku arrested deserters Tomaz Olipa and Jaka Oražeja – after their hiding place had been discovered. When the Gestapo searched a bunker measuring two by six meters, they found Tomaz Olipa's diary. Several arrests followed. From Wednesday, November 1942 to the beginning of February 1943, approximately 200 men and women were arrested, including categories of forced workers – Poles. About 134 Slovenes and Slovaks were executed. Further trials ensued. For 23 individuals, there was not sufficient evidence for charges; they were sent to various concentration camps. Roland Freisler presided over the main trial in early April 1943 and sentenced twelve men and one woman to death. On 29 April 1943, they were executed at a regional court in Vienna. Of the total 134 charged individuals, at least 38 lost their lives due to mistreatment. The number of victims among arrested Poles is unknown.
