Bleiburg Repatriations - Terminology

Terminology

Generic terms such as Bleiburg tragedy, Bleiburg crime, Bleiburg case and also simply Bleiburg are used in Croatia in reference to the entirety of the events. A massacre at Bleiburg itself, the Bleiburg massacre, is particularly discussed in context of the Operation Keelhaul. The term Way of the Cross (Croatian: Križni put) is also common, for the events after the repatriation itself. The latter are also often described as "death marches".
