»Meanwhile, new betrayals occurred. On 4 December 1944, Pavlo Cerar-Bunčkovo from Rača, Martin Cerarj-Šuštarj from Brezovice, Janez Kos-Najpavr from Brezja, and the father and son Janko and Stanko Cerarj Logajev from Dob were arrested. Janez Kos remembers that Logaj and Šuštar, as soon as they were brought to Begunje, said to Kudr: «Why did you betray us?» and jumped on him to torture him. Others calmed them down.

Both died in the Mauthausen crematorium, namely Šuštar on 14th and Logaj on 23rd March 1945.«
