Bol Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Raid at St. Lorenzen was a single operation in August, 1944 in which a total of 132 Allied prisoners of war were freed by Yugoslav Partisans.In June, 1944 the Allied escape organisation began to take an active interest in assisting escapees from camps in southern Austria and evacuating them through Yugoslavia. A post of the Allied mission in northern Slovenia had found that at Sankt Lorenzen ob Eibiswald, just on the Austrian side of the border, about 30 miles from Maribor (German: Marburg-an-der-Drau), there was a poorly guarded working camp from which a raid by Slovene partisans could free all the prisoners. Over a hundred of the latter were transported from Stalag XVIII-D at Maribor to St. Lorenzen each morning to do railway maintenance work, and returned to their quarters in the evening. Contact was made between Partisans and the prisoners with the result that at the end of August a group of seven slipped away past a sleeping guard at three o'clock in the afternoon, and at nine o'clock the men were eating and dancing with Partisans in a village, five miles away on the Slovenian side of the border.
