Explanation regarding the Turk relief in the Dom Planika: Danilo Turk was the leader of the cultural-propaganda group of the IX. Corps, which organized rallies throughout the Primorska region at the end of 1944. When the August mud season began in Trent a group of four partisans on August 2nd decided to "jump" to Triglav over Komar. At the top they hoisted the Slovene flag and in the Vrata they destroyed the German-Italian border marker which stood near Aljažev's column. The event was later described by a participant in the uprising, the lawyer and partisan poet (the famous Vstala Primorska is his work) Lev Svetek (Gore in ljudje 2/1946, pp. 96-101).
