This paper is primarily based on archival material, which gives an insight into the repatriation of abducted children and those removed by force. These actions were carried out by the Nazi authorities during World War II on the territory that had been occupied by the German occupier. Given the sources, the focus of the research is mainly the repatriation of such children in the years 1946/1947, even though, of course, the process had been in motion since the end of the war. For the year 1945 this type of material could not be acquired. Since the repatriation constitutes only one act of the extensive integration process of the then unfortunately already orphaned children into post-war society, the second part of the article is devoted to the post-war solution to the legal status of the abducted children as victims of Nazi violence in the municipalities of northeaster Slovenia and Carniola. Archival material shows also from this perspective, from the period of the seventies and eighties of the previous century, the course of intensive discussions on the regulation of the prerogatives of abducted children as a specific category of children, as evidenced by the material of the republic conference of the SAWP.
