»V imenu narodov Jugoslavije!« Procesi pred vojaškimi sodišči poleti 1945

In the aftermath of the Second World War, in May 1945, the first court-martial proceedings started in Slovenia; the convicted were mostly civilians, with very few military personnel among them. The courts were organized, heard cases, and imposed sentences based on the Court-Martial Regulation of May 1944. Proceedings were swift and brief. Most of those convicted in courts-martial were civilians accused of having collaborated with the occupying forces and having acted against the Partisan movement during the war, (supposedly) having been members of the occupying forces’ political organizations and military formations; proceedings due to membership in the Kulturbund were particularly numerous. There were also judicial proceedings against German and Slovenian entrepreneurs, owners of financial institutions,and military personnel – members of the Slovenian Home Guard, who were tried in the camps of Šentvid and Teharje.
