Pohorje Battalion premieres 81 years after final battle with Nazis

Ljubljana, 5 January - The Ljubljana City Theatre (MGL) is staging on Monday a production on the final days of the Pohorje Battalion, a Partisan unit that fought against the Nazis in the area around Maribor in WWII. All of its 70 members died in a fierce battle with some 2,000 German soldiers on 8 January 1943, which then gained mythical proportions.
