Victory Day ceremony held in Batina

Autor: mses
BATINA, May 9 (Hina) - On the occasion of Victory Day in memory of the defeat of the Fascist forces at the end of the Second World War, delegations of the Croatian authorities and the embassies of Russia, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan on Wednesday laid wreaths in front of the WWII monument in the eastern Croatian village of Batina, erected in memory of the Yugoslav Partisans and the Red Army troops who gave their lives during the Battle of Batina in November 1944.

In the battle against the German Wehrmacht and its allies in that village on the right bank of the Danube River, an estimated 2000 Red Army troops were killed.

The monument, made by sculptor Antun Augustincic in 1947, also includes a ossuary with the remains of 1,297 Red Army soldiers.
