»They also prepared a group for departure to the Karst. [..] Me and the entire shock troops unit or company were supposed to leave with them to the Karst. [..] We set off to the Karst and after three days, that is, on 21 October 1943, we crossed the Karavank ridge.

On the Karst a new movement began. Most of us dispersed, and after a good week both commanders Janko Rus-Djuro and Jurij Ravnik-Saša fell. A sad beginning to the hard days of battle on the Karst.« (Ivan Žemva-Majski, In the Shock Troops and Companies, Battle under Triglav, Collection, Gorje pri Bledu, 1966, p. 272)
