The author based on archive material and testimony presents the return of Slovenians that had been forcibly mobilised in the German army, after the end of World War Two with a special emphasis on the return of people from Gorenjska. The entire number of Slovenian who had been forcibly mobilised in the German army is not yet fully researched and the estimates range from 38.000 to 80.000, more than 10.000 died at the front and about 15.000 invalids returned. The author comprised a by name list of more of 11.000 people from Gorenjska that were recruited. The forcibly mobilised represent the biggest group of those actively involved with the war and they were returning from prisoner of war camps and as members of various military formations back to their home up until the middle of fifties. When at home they were negatively called "German soldiers" and their status was finally handled by the passing of Law of victims of war violence 1995
