Bleiburg repatriations (see terminology) is a term encompassing events that took place after the end of World War II in Europe, when thousands of soldiers and civilians fleeing Yugoslavia were repatriated to that country. Some of the soldiers and civilians were then murdered, and most were subjected to abuse and long marches to forced labor camps. The events are named after the Carinthian border town of Bleiburg from which the main repatriation was conducted.
