Primož Hospital under the Small Kop

Third in the sequence of the Pavček hospitals on the Pohorje was the partisans' hospital Št. Primož. It began operating on 4 October 1944 as a central hospital with a special operating hut for 45 wounded. Its capacities were always occupied, especially by seriously wounded, to whom it was primarily dedicated. Communication with the outside world was maintained through the military courier station 1-8 in the Brda. The economist was Albert Gradišnik-Berti, and the nurse was Kristjan Pori. In February 1945, it was discovered by the enemies, so they evacuated it and moved the wounded to the Krn hospital. Later it turned out that the information was false, and they started filling it again with the wounded.
