Memorial Stone at Šošel in Windisch Bleiberg/Slovenji Plajberk

About three kilometers from Windisch Bleiberg on the way to Strugarjach, in the forest at a fork in the road on the right, there is a memorial for the victims of Nazi tyranny in the area of Windisch-Bleiberg. The area was one of the centers of the partisan struggle. The memorial, erected in 1985, is one of the few memorials to the partisan struggle outside of cemeteries. Here, people with different life stories are remembered. Some, such as Janez Strugar or Matevž Kelih, were born and died in Windisch Bleiberg. The grave of the latter is at the cemetery of Windisch Bleiberg. Albert Glatz, Oto Tavčar and Ignac Weiss died in the municipal area of Unterloibl. Nothing is known about the first two. Weiss was murdered by fascist soldiers fleeing from Yugoslavia after the war and is buried in Unterloibl. He was a member of the KPÖ. During a battle with the 13th SS Police Regiment on November 16, 1944, in the Bodental, ten partisans died, twenty-two were arrested and deported to the Dachau concentration camp. Only two of them survived.
