Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. Summary executions of repatriated Slovene Home Guard members by the new regime
- Step 1: In the immediate aftermath of World War II, British occupation forces in Carinthia returned over 10,000 Slovene Home Guard members to Yugoslavia, where most were executed without trial in mass graves at Kočevski Rog and Teharje. Answer: Summary executions of repatriated Slovene Home Guard members by the new regime. Why not the others: There was no American-German tank battle in Kočevje, no virgin spruce fire, and peace treaties were negotiated in Paris.
