"Villager Anton Mathes gave an eyewitness account of the actions on the "Black Day" of the "Bloody Autumn" in the Vojvodina by partisans allegedly belonging to the Krajiška brigade and how the local Serbs tried to stop the butchery."
"On November 23rd (1944) they started a large scale raid; 181 men and two women were herded into the house of photographer Johann Raab. Meanwhile, 40 young people dug a large mass grave in a field along the road to Karavukovo. At that time the city council consisted of three Serbs: Dobranov, Urbas, and Pavkov. They knew what was going to happen and succeeded in freeing some of the prisoners. Thus, inkeeper Franz Kraus, merchant Ladislaus Kollmann, and Hans Petko were saved. The three Serbs genuinely tried to prevent the mass murder, however, without success. Towards midnight the prisoners had to undress and line up in rows of four and were marched to a mass grave. There they were brutally murdered and the corpses thrown into the pit which was then closed. Hans Mayer was the only one who managed to escape during the night. For many days the mass grave was guarded and nobody allowed to go near."
A eyewitness account is too much for the history section of one small town and it is a personal POV of the man who gave that account. You should rather to write general things about those events. There were a thousands of such eyewitness accounts from many people who participated in war. I do not think that they are appropriate here. They rather belong to some separate article about WW2 events. PANONIAN (talk) 20:14, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
